  in what case this is used?

  
  
  

  For example in my frontend i dont want to fetch images from /api/media because this will make heavy request and not cost effective on vercel.

  
  
  

  Is there another use-cases ?

  
  
  

  I'm asking because I would not find it easy.

  
  
  

  I did something similar for admin panel also:

  
  
  

  // Media Collection
  upload: {
          disableLocalStorage: true,
          // To not return images in /admin via /api -> this goes throught nextjs
          adminThumbnail: ({ doc }) => {
              return `${process.env.S3_URL}/${process.env.S3_BUCKET}/${doc.filename}`
          },

  
  
  

  Is that good practice ?

  That's exactly the use-case. It also means no excess computation for media collections which are already public facing

  
  
  

  For adminThumbnail it's fine
