How Cloud Files Works

1. UPLOAD FILES TO THE CLOUD

Store and manage unlimited files—each up to 5 GB in size—using our online control panel, desktop software, or programmatically via the API.

2. PAY ONLY FOR WHAT YOU USE

Unlike traditional storage solutions, there’s nothing to buy and no upfront costs for Cloud Files. You’ll pay only for the file storage space and outgoing bandwidth that you are actually using.

3. KEEP DATA PRIVATE OR SHARE IT PUBLICLY–YOUR CHOICE

Each container that you create for your files can be marked as either private or public.

Private Containers: With private containers, all traffic between your application and the Cloud Files server uses SSL to establish a secure, encrypted channel. This ensures that any data (usernames, passwords, and content) cannot be intercepted and read by a third party.

Public Containers: With public containers, your media files receive a web-ready URL that can be shared with anyone. Public files are served blazingly fast, too, thanks to Cloud Files’ integration with the Limelight Content Delivery Network.

Seamless Cloud and CDN Integration

Without any extra work on your part, Limelight's CDN ties in automatically with Cloud Files. Using the same, simple web interface that you use to upload content to Cloud Files, you can just right-click on any container and make its content publicly available across Limelight's world-wide CDN. And there’s no extra cost.
