Access methods
One login, four protocols
The access key and secret work everywhere. Pick the right method per application.
One key, four doors
You create the access once — it works for all four ways, not one per protocol.
S3 API
For applications, backup tools and scripts: rclone, restic, aws-cli, any S3 library.
WebDAV
Mount it as a network drive in Finder or Explorer – no extra software.
SFTP
Classic file transfer over SSH, e.g. with FileZilla or from cron jobs.
FTPS
FTP with TLS for devices and programs that only speak FTP.

Use cases
What you use the storage for
Object storage is not a drive, it is a filing place with HTTP in front of it. That fits these six cases particularly well.
Backups
restic, rclone or Duplicati write encrypted backups into your bucket – automated via cron.
Media delivery
Images, videos and downloads live in the bucket instead of on the web server.
Application data
Your application's uploads land in the storage via the S3 SDK – Laravel, Django, Node.
Archive
Logs, exports and old data that are rarely read and still worth keeping.
Nextcloud external storage
Mounted as external storage via S3 or WebDAV.
CI artefacts
Build artefacts, container layers and test reports from GitLab CI or GitHub Actions.
