as the rest said lossless compression won’t really work on media files as they’re already compressed, there are probably some compression layers based on fuse you could mount over your cloud storage mount point (if it supports mounting in linux) and it’d be transparent, but in case of video files i believe your only solution is to reencode those files, handbrake is a nice GUI tool
Yeah, even the file system is a hierarchical database, same with Windows registry, Internet domain registry too, not every database has to be SQL or relations based. There also are time based databases like influxdb for storing time based data, like metrics, logs
