# Introduction to FlashEdge Storage
{% hint style="info" %}
**FlashEdge Storage is currently available only to paying customers.**
{% endhint %}
Welcome to FlashEdge Storage, a scalable and high-performance storage service that seamlessly integrates with FlashEdge CDN. Whether you need to store static assets, application data, or large media files, FlashEdge Storage offers a reliable solution with robust security and ease of use.
Every FlashEdge Storage needs the FlashEdge CDN for public access. So, the final infrastructure and how it works are shown in the diagram below.
Private access to browse, upload, and download files is done by file explorers that have to support access to Amazon S3 and specific S3 buckets. We have selected some of the best options and described them in our documentation.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.flashedgecdn.com/welcome/introduction-to-flashedge-storage.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
