We're running SP 2013 on-premises,(actually running one web server and one SQL server from Amazon AWS.) Our SQL Db is at 240GB. I initially decided to save large video files to a share on my web front end and post them on SP video library via the IIS url. That works great, but since then it's gotten more complicated with private video files for exec and HR.

My question is, what performance differences am I going to see, (if any), if I start uploading 100+MB video files to SP v sharing them via a URL link on SP video library?

Hi,

As I understand, you want to know the performance differences between the uploading 100+MB video files to SharePoint 2013 v sharing them via IIS URL link locally.

As my knowledge, the performance of sharing video files via IIS URL locally is better than uploading video files to SharePoint 2013.

But if you share video files via IIS URL local, it is difficult to manage the video files by different users.

And if you upload the video files to SharePoint, you can manage the video files conveniently. SharePoint is a tool to organize and share the files. So if the video is not very large, you can upload the video files to SharePoint to manage and share the files. It will save the time in managing and sharing files.

After doing some additional research it looks like 100MB is nothing. I saw posts where folks were uploading 1TB files.

I think we'll be okay uploading these training files.

thanks.
