Hey Team,

Identify UX issues when embedding non-image media files into the rich text field

Since there won't be actual picture previews for these. We are suggesting the following,

• File type Icons - Due to not having nice previews like images we can instead add icons for file types i.e. pdf says "pdf" and has a pdf image
• Filter - Add a filter on file type

Investigate how we can restrict upload size limits

This will be done via client (onUpload function) and mainly on the Tina Cloud side.

Identify what file types we want (Could be some malicious types that we don't want)

Let's copy from the greats and only have a small allowed list.

For now lets, include what Cloudinary supports then start adding extras,

• .pdf
• .zip
• DOC
• XLS
• PPT
• TXT
• ICS or VCS

Investigate what file types different providers can upload (match them)

Cloudinary supports the following and I think we should support these as a start
