Hi, i am working on a project that requires my website to have content from my college localhost server the content is around 1 TB, I cannot upload the content to any other server. I have created my wix website will you please help me to connect my wix Website with the localhost server of my college. The server is not online at present serving as a database for students.
You can hire someone on Wix Arena, syncing data like this requires advanced coding skills. I should ask Wix Code Crew about your 1 TB data if allowed and possible. @liran-kurtz-wix
Hi @learntoday11 !
You can try to use the Wix-Fetch method in order to communicate with your external DB.
All you need is the API key of the college server (in order to access it) and then you can export data to your site without saving it directly (the whole 1TB) in your site’s DB.
Note that Wix cannot store all this Data in your site’s DB, there is a limitation on collection sizes, so if you have any further questions regarding the storage issue I’d suggest you to contact the Wix Support Center as they know best.

@ Doron Alkalay
what is specific size limitation on collection sizes ?
@mikemoynihan99 This is a question to the Support Center as well.
Here in this forum we deal exclusively with coding and WixCode issues.
@doron-alkalay
you said in your previous message that there was a limitation on collection sizes. Have you seen this stated somewhere ?
@mikemoynihan99 As you can see I’m part of the Wix Code team.
I know that the collections do not have an unlimited storage capabilities but I can’t specify exactly what is the limitation, and so, in order to not misguide you with false info - I’d suggest you to speak to the team that has the correct answers and is responsible on this topic - in the Wix Support Center.

Hi!
Thank you for contacting Wix Support Center.
There is no technical limitation that prevents a collection from exceeding a certain megabyte size. It means that there is no size limit of a collection.
