High Disk Usage with Files that are uploaded in Appian Application (Are there any Compression tools to compress those files etc...)

Question

Hi everyone, my name is Jerry. I am currently facing an issue that I need a little help on. We currently have an Appian application in which users take pictures from their phones and upload those pictures or any other files needed. These pictures/files are currently saved in folders in KC. They are taking lots and lots of spaces and we are running close to 80% disk usage. The plan is to transfer those files to a different server using FTP, but that's currently in the process and may take a little bit longer than anticipated. In the meantime, is there any short term solutions for this such as a compressing tool to compress those files that are being uploaded or any other solutions that can work? 
 Any help in this matter is greatly appreciated 
 Thanks

Adding to the above point: 
 
1. By any chance if a document has multiple versions then I recommend deleting those unused versions. 
 
2. And how about the document expiry date, after which you can delete those documents. 
 
3. If non of the above solutions worked then I recommend try talking to Appian team and extend the storage for a quarter / half year / 1 year (depending on, how much it will take for the FTP solution to be ready) this will give you some buffer time but your organisation / client need to pay for that to Appian.
