Activate object storage: what are the risks?

Cloud storage - Grist Help Center states that “Enabling snapshotting results in a big change in how documents are stored, and is best done prior to creating documents. Back up your work before changing this configuration.”

Ok, but this not really specific: what are the risks? Are problems systematic during a transition? How to avoid these?

Another question while we’re on this topic: which opensource MinIO alternatives is already tested?

Thanks in advance :slight_smile:
