Storage

Egos provides personal cloud storage functionality, allowing you to backup important files to your Egos workspace. Currently, Egos offers two storage methods: local storage and S3 storage.

  • Local storage: You can designate any directory as your storage location, greatly improving file portability and transferability
  • S3 storage: You can backup files to S3-compatible file systems such as rustFS, minio, seaweedfs, etc., providing high availability and scalability

S3 storage requires configuring S3 access credentials including access key and secret key. Egos provides an S3 storage configuration interface where you can set up S3 storage in the user center.

In the future, we will support additional storage protocols such as WebDAV, SMB, and more.
