Hi team ????,

First of all, thank you for this excellent Content Ops Starter template! It has been extremely helpful for quickly scaffolding content-driven sites on Netlify. I have been using it in multiple projects and it greatly simplifies the setup and deployment workflow.

However, I’ve run into a common challenge when working with large content assets (e.g., videos, large images, downloadable files, zipped datasets) that are shared across teams or stored in cloud services. Currently, if contributors need to fetch these assets manually, the process can be slow or error-prone — especially when sharing links that require authentication or redirection.

Suggestion:

It would be great to provide built-in or recommended tooling for managing large file downloads during the content workflow. For example:

• A script or helper that automatically resolves cloud share links into direct downloads during build time.

• Documentation recommending reliable tools for handling large cloud file downloads.

• Integration with asset management plugins that can fetch and cache files before Netlify builds the site.

Example Tools:

One useful utility that some workflows use is TeraBox Downloader — a web-based tool that helps convert share links from cloud storage into direct download URLs. This can help teams avoid manual download steps and reduce errors when preparing large content assets:

Benefits:

• Faster builds with ready-to-use assets

• Reduced manual steps for contributors

• Better handling for large media files across teams

• More predictable CI/CD workflows

Thanks again for the great starter template! I’d love to know if others have faced similar challenges and what solutions they’ve used.
