     As per your requirement
     
     For 2000 users, if each user uploads 8 compressed photos and 2 compressed videos:
     
     16,000 photos
     4,000 videos
     20,000 total files
     72 GB storage used (approx.)
     
     So 1 TB storage would still have a lot of free space rem
     aining.

     Hello,
     
     Let’s estimate the storage usage step-by-step.
     
     Assumed compressed file sizes
     
     Average compressed photo ≈ 2 MB
     
     Average compressed video ≈ 50 MB
     
     Storage used by one user
     
     Photos:
     8 × 2 MB = 16 MB
     
     Videos:
     2 × 50 MB = 100 MB
     
     Total per user:
     16 MB + 100 MB = 116 MB
     
     Storage for 2000 users
     
     116 MB × 2000 = 232,000 MB
     
     Convert to GB:
     232000 ÷ 1024 ≈ 226.5 GB
     
     Final Result
     
     If each user uploads 8 photos and 2 compressed videos, then 2000 users would require approximately 226 GB of storage.
     
     In real cloud systems, additional storage is also used for thumbnails, metadata, indexing, and backups, which can add around 10–20% overhead.
     
     So the practical requirement would be roughly 250–270 GB total storage for the platform.

  Step 1: Define reasonable compressed file sizes
  
  Typical compressed media sizes:
  
  Compressed photo: ~2 MB
  
  Compressed video: ~50 MB (short, compressed clip)
  
  Step 2: Storage per user
  
  Photos:
  8 photos × 2 MB = 16 MB
  
  Videos:
  2 videos × 50 MB = 100 MB
  
  Total per user:
  16 MB + 100 MB = 116 MB per user
  
  Step 3: Total storage for 2000 users
  
  116 MB × 2000 users = 232,000 MB
  
  Convert to GB:
  232,000 ÷ 1024 ≈ 226.6 GB
  
  Convert to TB:
  226.6 ÷ 1024 ≈ 0.22 TB
  
  Final Result
  
  If each of the 2000 users stores 8 compressed photos and 2 compressed videos, the total storage used would be approximately:
  
  ≈ 226 GB (about 0.22 TB)

  #35 #38 Instead of using fixed assumptions, I built a small Excel model for this problem. Since photo and video file sizes vary depending on resolution, compression, and duration, the sheet allows changing inputs like photo size, video size per minute, duration, and storage allocation. The results update automatically, making the estimation more flexible and practical.

  First divide the storage among the users.
  
  1 TB ≈ 1000 GB ≈ 1,000,000 MB
  
  Per user storage:
  
  1,000,000 MB ÷ 2000 users = 500 MB per user
  
  So each user would have about 500 MB of storage on average.
  
  Approximate number of photos/videos per user
  
  This depends on the average file size.
  
  Typical sizes:
  
  ? Smartphone photo ≈ 3–5 MB
  
  ? Short video (30–60 sec) ≈ 40–80 MB
  
  
  If users store only photos
  
  500 MB ÷ 5 MB ≈ 100 photos per user
  
  
  If users store only videos
  
  500 MB ÷ 50 MB ≈ 10 videos per user
  
  
  Mixed example
  
  A realistic mix could be:
  
  70–90 photos
  
  5–8 short videos
  
  
  per user approximately.
  
  ✅ Simple summary
  
  Type Per User
  
  Storage 500 MB
  Photos only ~100 photos
  Videos only ~10 videos
  Mixed ~80 photos + ~6 videos
  
  
  ? If you want, I can also calculate:
  
  How many total photos/videos fit in 1 TB
  
  Or how much storage you need for 2000 users with unlimited photos/videos.
