Hi all. I thought I was self hosting but it appears that pdf files are sent to and stored on Google Docs. Can this be changed to local hosting?
The error message from Google Docs is: You may be offline or with limited connectivity. Try downloading instead.
The pdf file is 32 megs in size. Thank you!
Hello @banister !
Could you please share more details about your actions before the getting the mentioned error message? Where did you try to upload this file? What the type of storage do you use in your UNA if you have this situation there?
Hello friend, thank you for considering this issue.
I'm referring to the UNA File module. Apparently, it uses google docs for storage. I would like to change this as google is no longer a free-speech platform.
The Download button on my UNA page works fine for this document but the file cannot be (pre)viewed and read on-line as before.
In the past, the pdf "preview" also neatly appeared on the Timeline page. Now there is a uninteresting, uncentered generic icon.
Yes, I have located my local storage folder. It appears that google docs provides a pdf READER for browsers that might be lacking this feature. The actual pdf document, in my case, is not stored on google docs.
I'll continue to experiment and report back so that others will also learn more. My document is likely too large to be handed off to google docs for a preview and to be read.
From google docs Support I found this thread:
I would like to know the file size or page limit for viewing PDF files in Google Docs.
I'm trying to view a 35MB (about 500 pages) .pdf file through 'Google Docs' via a specific download link, but I get "The file cannot be previewed. The file is too large to display a preview." is displayed.
I would like to know the specifications for the file size or page limit that PDF files can be viewed in Google Docs.

The large grey icon (a curious text based icon known as base64 format) actually takes up scrolling space on the Timeline. It also lessens the amount of words before the "See more" threshold. In my view, it is redundant, off-centered, and should be removed.
Can some clever person tell me what the css code is to remove it in the Timeline, that I might add the code to my Protean custom styles? I got the code below to work but unfortunately it removes other images on other pages , as well.
This Timeline image removal code must work for Files and Audio icons, too.
img file {
display: none;

Thank you.
The fix, via the ingenious Leonid, is:
.bx-tl-item-files {
display: none;
}
