How do you manage Zoom recordings when working with large files?

I use Zoom for meetings where I sometimes need to review the recording afterward. When there are several long meetings, the recording files can take up quite a bit of storage, especially when I keep both the original files and edited versions.

I’m curious how other Zoom users manage this.

  • Do you normally keep recordings in the Zoom cloud or download them locally?

  • How do you organize recordings when there are many meetings?

  • Is there a recommended way to reduce the size of downloaded recordings?

  • Do you keep separate folders for original and edited recordings?

  • How long do you normally keep older meeting recordings?

I’m looking for a simple workflow that makes recordings easy to find without letting them take over local storage.
