ios - Parse PFFile increase user object size

Question

Will having an Array of PFFiles (also stored in another table on the server) in a User object increase that objects size, or will only references be held?

I know that you can associate a user with each file but it helps the app a lot if there is also a table of files in each user item. Is there a way to effectively do this without greatly increasing memory usage?

当您上传文件（通过任何接口）时，您会返回对该文件的引用，您可以将其与其他对象（例如用户）关联。当您进行此引用时，它就像指向文件对象的指针，而不是文件对象的完整副本。不管你存储多少，你只是在添加指针。显然，这些指针确实占用了一些空间，但与文件的大小相比它是最小的（基本上在所有情况下）。
