Understanding storage for MetaData "document" repository

Question

Hello Community,
We are running BW on an Oracle database, and I'm trying to understand what happens when I attach a document to the MetaData `document` repository.  To get to the repository, we go to RSA1 --> Documents
From the "content storage" tab after pressing the the administration button, I can see the content repository is <b>BDS_DB8</b>, which appears to store documents in the database table <b>BDSCONT8</b>.
(While a table name is listed, I would imagine that new documents added to the repository would be insterted into the database as BLOBs)
What I'm trying to understand is :
where to documents go when they're inserted into the repository ?
if I add a 1 Mb document to the repository, does the database grow in size by exactly 1 Mb ?
what are other details to consider re: storage and disk usage when using the MetaData repository ?
Thank you,
Keith

Shared access signature and stored access policy can be used in this case.
A shared access signature is a URI that grants restricted access rights to containers, blobs, queues, and tables for a specific time interval. By providing
a client with a shared access signature, you can enable them to access resources in your storage account without sharing your account key with them. A stored access policy provides an additional level of control over shared access signatures on the server
side.
