I am looking to use the merge API to combine PPTs, however the use of the storage api hits will make this prohibitive, each merge taking the amount of docs being merged plus 2 ( merge and download) hits. Would using 3rd party storage allow for the merge API to be consumed giving storage locations directly to reduce API calls?
Even if you use third party storage with our hosted GroupDocs.Merger Cloud API, then storage operations API will be charged. However, you can use GroupDocs.Merger Cloud Docker Container for self-hosting. It does not charge for the storage operations API calls.
