title: Product Media & DAM
description: Media hosted in your DAM stays in your DAM — Spree stores the address, not a copy of the bytes, and renders it through the same pipeline as uploaded media.

## Coming soon

> **NOTE:** The following features are on the open-source roadmap. The interfaces described here may change before release.

If your media lives in a digital asset management system or a CDN you already operate, importing copies into Spree doubles your storage and guarantees drift. Externally hosted media makes the address the record: Spree stores a URL, renders it wherever uploaded media renders, and your DAM remains the source of truth for the asset itself.

## What this covers

- Product images and videos referenced by URL instead of uploaded bytes
- Feeding media URLs through the same product feeds and imports as the rest of your catalog data
- How externally hosted media behaves in the dashboard, the APIs and the storefront alongside uploaded media
