Things to Keep in Mind When Uploading Large Content
While this new feature is powerful, there are a few things to be aware of, especially when dealing with large files:
File Size: The maximum storage for Snipd Premium users is 10 GB. Ensure your uploads do not exceed this limit to continue enjoying the service without interruption.
Automatic Splitting: If your audio file is longer than three hours, Snipd will automatically split it into shorter episodes. This is particularly useful for long lectures or audiobooks.
Chapter Support: If your audio file contains chapters, Snipd will use them for splitting the content, making navigation even easier.
