Built for developers and businesses

Drop-in S3 compatibility means your existing tools, SDKs, and workflows connect without code changes.

🔌

S3-Compatible API

Use any S3 SDK — AWS SDK, boto3, s3cmd, rclone — against our South African endpoints without changing your code.

SA-Based Storage

Your data stays in South Africa. Low latency for local applications and compliance with data residency requirements.

🔒

Private & Secure

Bucket-level ACLs, pre-signed URLs, and server-side encryption keep your data accessible only to those you authorise.

📦

Any File Type

Store images, videos, PDFs, backups, logs, database dumps, or any binary object — no restrictions on file type or structure.

⚡

Fast Retrieval

Optimised for high-throughput reads — serve media and static assets directly from storage with low latency.

🔄

Versioning Support

Enable object versioning to keep a full history of changes — recover overwritten or deleted files instantly.
