How big is your SimplePlanes Aircraft (and blueprints) Backup/Archive?

Mine's currently sitting on 1.6 GB of space, of which most of it is just 7 duplicates of my backup from different times, each containing like 600-1400 aircraft files. Zip File version is 533MB.

I was wondering because I was uploading my SP backup files to my laptop and my drive for backup, problem is google drive sucks very much on mobile (can't upload folders), and also uploading non-zip files (especially one with ~7333 individual files) to my laptop also sucks and is also also very slow, so I am forced to zip my backup files and do it again. And it worked! Now I get why people upload zip files instead of whatever download hell awaits if they don't. I used ZArchiver to zip up my files btw. it's good.

ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR FILES. TO YOUR COMPUTOR, YOUR LAPTOP, YOUR SHOE, YOUR DRIVE, YOUR PHONE, YOUR EARRINGS, YOUR EVERYTHING, OR ELSE YOU WILL LOSE EVERYTHING, EVEN YOUR HOPE. I learned this via observation.

ANYWAYS! again, mine is on 1.6GB of space (533MB zip file size). What about yours?

    As soon as I'm done with a blueprint I deleted it, so I don't have that many at one time.

    My files are different since I have other stuff like FT codes, diagrams, reference pictures, scripts, and other stuff still related to SimplePlanes. My entire "SimplePlanes" folder (not the AppData one; one in my own storage) is just under 10GB, the SWL-120 Unity project is abut 25GB, and I have about 1200 total xml files archived. I only have like 7 files in my actual AircraftDesigns folder, all of them being SWL-120 related.

    Not many local files, a lot of unlisted files for projects
