🗃️File Management

Cloneable's approach to file management, the integration of various file provider options, and the advantages of connecting directly to file provider accounts for storage needs.

• The file management section allows users to view and upload files associated with their company's account.

• Files can be uploaded, including PDF templates for filling in as part of app workflows.

• The platform supports a file provider feature, and the current options include using your own file providers (such as AWS S3 and Cloudflare R2) for quick file uploads and downloads.

  • Cloudflare R2 file provider, which is a distributed CDN-based S3 competitor, is recommended for file storage and offers fast file transfers.

  • Cloneable does not manage bulk storage for clients. Connect to file provider accounts (like AWS S3) so that you can work with your provider directly for storage.

  • Cloneable will offer a certain amount of file storage per year to users who don't have their own file provider accounts.

• The platform aims to be an application layer that connects to various data services, and supporting multiple file providers is on their roadmap. Google Cloud Platform and Azure Blob Storage are potential additions.

  • Cloudflare R2 is highlighted as an attractive option due to its compatibility with S3 libraries, making adoption simple without requiring significant code changes.
