Prerequisites
🎯 Problem Statement
Currently, Thunder ⚡️ does not provide a built-in media library or file manager.
Users cannot upload, organize, or reuse images, videos, and PDFs directly within the builder.
They need to re-upload assets multiple times for different sections, which is inefficient.
There is no integration with cloud storage services like Google Drive or Dropbox, making asset management harder.
This creates friction for users who want to build content-heavy websites efficiently.
💡 Proposed Solution
Introduce a Media Library & File Manager that allows users to:
Upload & Organize Files: Images, videos, PDFs, etc.
Reusable Assets: Once uploaded, assets can be used across multiple pages.
UI Design:
Grid/list view for browsing assets.
Drag-and-drop upload functionality.
Search and filtering options for quick access.
Cloud Storage Integration:
Option to connect Google Drive/Dropbox accounts.
Sync assets with cloud storage for scalability and backup.
🔄 Alternatives Considered
External hosting (Imgur, Google Drive links) → Not user-friendly and adds friction.
Re-uploading assets manually → Time-consuming and inefficient.
Local-only file storage → Limited scalability, no multi-device access.
📊 Priority Level
Low - Nice to have
🎭 Use Cases
A content creator uploads branding assets (logo, banner, product images) once and reuses them across multiple pages.
A team collaborates on a project and shares media files seamlessly through the builder.
A business integrates Google Drive to manage product brochures and PDFs for quick website updates.
📎 Additional Context
Most modern website builders (Webflow, Wix, Squarespace) provide built-in asset management. Adding this feature will bring Thunder ⚡️ closer to industry standards while improving productivity and collaboration.
