Totally agree. 13GB and storing movies would be daft!
But, a 1GB note? I find myself getting to the limit with client projects. Some PDFs and files get up to 200MB.
I also do some consult work around CRM software and my tutorials can include PDFs short videos and more, which leads our macOS system data extreamingly large. Would be great to have this inside one shared note.
App swapping won't be a problem in this case, because all the information on the note will tell me if that's the file I want. And I'll only click on that link if I want to watch that movie, or download that file, or whatever. And in that case my attention will be entirely focused on the file anyway, wherever it is.
