    Yeh, there are workarounds for large & binary files.
    Git-LFS stores a pointer to the file that is stored elsewhere.
    So… you have a git repo of files that point to somewhere that stores the actual files.
    Great if your graphics/assets pipeline or whatever stores the files somewhere, and your codebase uses those assets.
    Not great as the primary system to replace google/microsoft drive.

    Might as well just have/use something that stores the actual files.
