Is there a way to reduce the size of @cryptpad@twitter.com files? Like deleting the history or something? On my test instance a file exported to 13KB html takes up 6MB of space.

@poggie yea, that's the history of all your changes. We're planning to add an easy way to trim the history, but for now a workaround is to copy the content to a new pad and delete the current. Unfortunately that means other people will lose access.
In general we're careful about features involving deletion because we don't know what we're erasing. This one might take some time and a lot of testing.
@ansuz Thanks for the answer Yes, deleting is a delicate matter and I get why it is not easy to implement.
For now copying the content should work, I might just have to increase the quota of the users.
Eventually it would be great to see an option to trim the history to the current state or disable saving of the history of you turn off the history feature for the users. Should I make a feature request on GitHub or is it already on your radar?
@poggie its already in our plan, but I don't have a clear idea of when.
Unfortunately history isn't an extra feature you can turn off, it's an intrinsic part of how collaboration works in CryptPad.
My personal drive is up in the gigabytes, so I'd certainly like to be able to trim things. I'm planning to update our roadmap soon, so I'll think about where we could make this fit.
