  @kresimirgalic How are you handling your file storage? The default in Payload is to save files locally to the express server running node.

  
  

  It sounds as though you are using storage on the server instance and that instance is replaced each deploy. The docs talk about it here:

  Hi @dribbens we are experiencing the same issue with images disappearing after each new build during the deploy stage. We are using Payload Cloud and it looks like the file storage is setup correctly, so I'm not sure where/what to check next. Would be great if you could help out - thanks in advance!

  This has to be a configuration issue. We will Dm you to find out which project is yours.

  @jellekuipersdpm Let's keep troubleshooting here as much as we can. Like Dan said, images that disappear after each deploy typically means that your cloud storage is not configured correctly. It is likely writing to the

  ephemeral

  disk that is created for each new instance of your application.

  
  
  

  A few questions to help troubleshoot:

  
  
  

  - Are you using one of the payload cloud templates? If so, which one?

  
  

  - Can you check that your project's config is calling

  payloadCloud()

  inside of your

  plugins

  array? This comes from
