Are there any types that a user could upload that aren't supported on Tina Cloud?
Should we add a point that not all types are allowed as Tina Cloud only allows certain files?

@JackDevAU good idea, similar issue we ran into with tina.io and some file types disallowed by Tina Cloud

As per tinacms/tinacms#4677 (comment), what we thought was a Tina Cloud issue was actually Tina.io using Cloudinary.

Repo based media should accept everything Cloudinary does as it is stored in GitHub.

Hey @Jord-Gui
Should we add in a column for what the default fields are? or is everything in the table part of the defaults and aren't needed to be added into the accept field?

@JackDevAU Yeah so everything in that table is supported by default and if you want to override that, then you use the accept property e.g. if you want to limit it to only video/mp4's.
