which picture upload option uses more data space?

1. Attaching a photo via "attachments"
2. Adding the same photo to a rich text field

Which type uses up the most data space? Same picture, same format.
File attachments

    The space is apples and oranges.  One is file attachment space and they give you a tons of that.  If you look at you plan limits and usage, typically, you will be no where near your limits.  But Application space (ie what you type into the app)  is the "smart space" that allows for all the advanced Quick Base functionality and loads to memory - so that Quick base can be Quick.  So you get much less of that.

    So, stick to file attachment uploads.
