Currently, we don't store images
users can paste them in pads, but they won't show up for other users accessing the same page or on page reload
Data for a canvas looks like this when empty:
The files dict in vanilla Excalidraw is filled with an encoded version of the file's data
For pad, we should instead a fast and reliable storage, very likely a classic CDN setup that takes any pasted file, uploads it, and gives back the link for it
The CDN must be protected behind auth
We can also investigate file formats other than images like videos, gifs or even PDFs
If anyone is interested to work on this, let me know and we can discuss it!
