I understand that the fetch api store the image in a CDN cache. Why is consuming storage resources?

  HI,

  Fetched images are cached on your Cloudinary account for performance reasons. Paid Cloudinary customers can request to have the remote images checked on a regular basis (every 7 days by default) and if the remote image has changed, the cached image is updated accordingly. This feature is supported only for image assets.

  For more information, please see this:

  https://cloudinary.com/documentation/fetch_remote_images#content

  Please let me know if it's more clear now.

   

  Cheers,

  Yakir

  Hi Yakir.

  For what you say, If i only want to transform images necessary need to consume storage credits.  is this correct? 

  If you store the image for cache purposes, why you store the original image and not the transformed images (small size)? I think this is not correct.

   

  Cheers,

  True. The point is that we do upload the image, and also saving the derived images, to make future transformations more faster. 

  This option (fetch) is useful for cleaning up your storage in cases where many of your fetched images become obsolete after a short time period, for example, banner ads.

  Please let me know it's more clear now.

  Cheers,

  Yakir
