You have the option of storing metadata all in your config folder or along with your media files.
No matter where you chose to store them, when they are read, they will be saved to the cache folder. Things like images will have its quality downgraded a bit as they're saved to the cache folder so that clients can access them faster. You can find where this is by going to your dashboard and seeing where the /cache folder mount points to on your container or system. There's a setting in the dashboard to clear out this cache folder on a regular basis.
When your cache folder gets called, that metadata from it will get stored in ram until it's no longer needed and the space is replaced with something else.
Basically you have:
1. Permanent metadata storage
2. "Temporary" metadata cache storage
3. Temporary location in ram
