How is FlashEdge Storage accessed publicly?

Every FlashEdge Storage requires a FlashEdge CDN distribution for public access. After creating a storage, you have to set up a CDN distribution to serve your content publicly.

How can I privately manage files in FlashEdge Storage?

Private access for browsing, uploading, and downloading files is facilitated through file explorers that support Amazon S3 and specific S3 buckets. The recommended options are detailed in the FlashEdge documentation.

Can I use AWS CLI to manage FlashEdge Storage?

How can I secure access to my FlashEdge Storage through HTTPS?

To serve content securely via HTTPS with your custom domain, set up a FlashEdge CDN distribution linked to your FlashEdge Storage and configure your custom domain with SSL/TLS certificates as per the instructions in the FlashEdge documentation.

Can my files be restored if I mistakenly remove them?

If you accidentally delete files, we’ll not be able to recover them, as the nature of our backend doesn’t allow us to access the files in a different way than you.

Are my files safe in FlashEdge Storage?

Until you create a publicly accessible FlashEdge CDN distribution, your files will not be publicly available. Even after that, public access is only possible through the FlashEdge CDN distribution domain or, if you set it up, your own custom domain with HTTPS.

Is encryption available in FlashEdge Storage?

All files saved in FlashEdge Storage are encrypted. However, due to the nature and use case of FlashEdge Storage, which stores publicly accessible content, we don't offer any specific encryption settings.
