Help and instructions on setting up and configuring cloud storage providers like Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage and others.
There are a lot of cloud storage providers to choose from and we support nearly all of them. You’ve probably already picked one, but if you haven’t, there are a few things to consider when shopping around:
- Features
- Speed
- Price
Choosing a provider is also a commitment because once you’ve selected one and have used it for a length of time, switching to another one is going to be difficult and time consuming. So while you might be prioritizing price over the other features and speed, I’d encourage you to prioritize features first.
