Object storage

Keep your files in cloud storage, separate from your server

Object Storage in Dorsa Cloud stores photos, videos, documents, large files and backups. Your application can access it directly.

How it works

Files move from your application to cloud storage and back whenever needed

Object Storage does not depend on a server. Applications use access keys to write and read files.

  1. Upload a file

    Your application, script or S3-compatible tool uploads a file using an access key.

  2. It stays in your storage

    The file is retained in your project's storage, and the panel shows used capacity.

  3. Read it wherever needed

    Your server, website or application reads the file with the same key. Files remain in place if you replace the server.

Comparison

Object Storage or Cloud Disk?

Both keep data separate from servers, but they serve different purposes.

Object Storage and Cloud Disk comparison
Object storageObject StorageBlock storageBlock Storage
What it storesComplete files such as photos, videos, documents, backups and logsData accessed directly by a server's operating system, such as database files
How you use itAccess keys and S3-compatible tools or librariesAttaches to a server like a disk and appears within the operating system
Who can access itAny application with a key; create separate keys for separate applicationsOnly the server currently attached to the disk
Server dependencyNot attached to a server; files remain when the server is replacedCreated separately but must be attached to a server for use
Who it is forNumerous large files, archives and backupsDatabases, application files and data continuously read and written by a server

Choose Cloud Disk when a server needs an additional data disk. About Cloud Disk

Use cases

For files that should not stay on a server disk

  • Backups

    Store server and application backups separately from the server. Managed database backups can also be kept in your project's Object Storage.

  • Photos and videos

    Store product photos, user uploads and videos without filling your server disk.

  • Static website files

    Keep images, fonts and built website assets together for your application or deployment workflow to read.

  • Log archives

    Send web server and application logs to storage, keeping server disks clear and logs available when needed.

Key-based access

Use access keys with S3-compatible tools

Files are not uploaded through the panel; your application or tool accesses storage directly using access keys.

  1. Create storage in the panel

    Choose a storage name. Review service status and usage in the panel later.

  2. Create an access key

    The panel shows your access key, secret key and service endpoint. The secret is visible only once; keep it safe.

  3. Enter the key in your tool

    Enter these three values into an S3-compatible tool or library. The first command lists your storage.

  4. Remove unused keys

    With separate application keys, delete an unneeded key without affecting the others.

AWS CLIExample
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<ACCESS_KEY>
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<SECRET_KEY>

# list your bucket
aws s3 ls --endpoint-url <ENDPOINT>

# upload a file
aws s3 cp ./backup.tar.gz s3://<BUCKET>/backups/ \
  --endpoint-url <ENDPOINT>
Replace values inside < > with the access key, secret key and endpoint shown in the panel. Other S3-compatible tools and libraries use the same credentials.
