We're going to be building a website which needs to host a large collection of PDFs, up to about 500 of them. We've experimented with this on Umbraco Cloud, and ran into some issues like general slowness, and with syncing from the Cloud to a local environment timing out.
What is the best way to handle a large number of PDF files on an Umbraco site? Can the Media or Content section really handle this, or is it best to go with some sort of 3rd-party storage solution? If so, does anyone know what that might be?
I know sites with thousands of media items and it works smoothly.
Umbraco Cloud timeouts can be fixed by changing the timeout in web.config or is it timeout on the cloud site? Can you check what site gives you a timeout? Local or Cloud?
Recommended way to handle site with ~500 PDFs?

Hi David
500 docs isn't a problem for Umbraco absolutely.
I know sites with thousands of media items and it works smoothly.
Umbraco Cloud timeouts can be fixed by changing the timeout in web.config or is it timeout on the cloud site? Can you check what site gives you a timeout? Local or Cloud?

Hi David
Did you decide what to do with the project? Will you go with Umbraco?
Can you share your findings?
Thanks,
Alex
