I just realized that I don't really have many large files. I'm only using Git LFS on about 50 MB worth of files, and most of them are about 1 MB in size except for one 29 MB file. I don't know if Git LFS is the best option for my use case, but I was thinking ahead to when I might have more of those ~30 MB json data files. Having only 50 MB of files makes paying for bandwidth ok for now.
