Images from remote source - is it possible or is really a bad practice?
- by user1620696
I'm building a management system for websites and I had an idea related to image galleries that I'm not sure it's a good approach. Since images might need good deals of space depending on how much images a user uploads an so on, I thought on using cloud services like dropbox, mega and google drive to store images and load then when needed.
The obvious problem is that for me this seems a useless solution because it would be slow to download the images from the remote source, making the user experience not so good.
Is there any way to save images of a image gallery on remote source without getting the user experience bad because of speed? Or this is really not a good practice?
