Thunkable can play sounds and videos from urls stored in cloud databases. But many databases are stopping the practice of embedding/attaching media. So Airtable used to work for that, for example, but now doesn’t. ---

I don’t know, sorry. It might help if you explained how much media you plan to store and what types of media. ---

You can run/view files stored in Google Drive but you will be faced with the same usage limitation. For example this link [1636638374889.png - Google Drive](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MCtq2rd2yoMckuN9UPd7isEAiDd8Y7w5/view?usp=share_link) can be viewed by Thunkable and even here in the community as [![](https://doc-10-c0-docs.googleusercontent.com/docs/securesc/ha0ro937gcuc7l7deffksulhg5h7mbp1/614i9klj0g9eo2o1m3jglt7fnj9seint/1681685025000/13651265276408703262/*/1MCtq2rd2yoMckuN9UPd7isEAiDd8Y7w5?uuid=009332e2-b96d-41fe-90ba-3d565bc65786) ](https://doc-10-c0-docs.googleusercontent.com/docs/securesc/ha0ro937gcuc7l7deffksulhg5h7mbp1/614i9klj0g9eo2o1m3jglt7fnj9seint/1681685025000/13651265276408703262/*/1MCtq2rd2yoMckuN9UPd7isEAiDd8Y7w5?uuid=009332e2-b96d-41fe-90ba-3d565bc65786) ---
