Where your media live matters. Connect external storage to own your data, scale without limits, and keep your files portable.

Supported Providers

Chevereto supports AWS S3 and any S3-Compatible storage plus a variety of other providers, including Alibaba Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and more.

CDN Support

When someone opens your site, every media file has to travel from wherever it is stored to their device. Storage providers typically charge for this transfer, and those costs add up quickly as your traffic grows. If your storage is in one region and your visitors are spread across the world, that can also mean slow loads on top of high bandwidth bills.

A Content Delivery Network (CDN) solves this by copying your files to servers around the world and serving each visitor from the nearest one. The result is faster load times for everyone and lower costs for you.

Most storage providers either include a CDN or integrate with services like Cloudflare or Bunny. Chevereto lets you set a custom URL per storage, so you can point it to your CDN and all media links will be served through it automatically.

External Storage

Chevereto Cloud requires an External Storage provider to store your media. Here is why this is actually an advantage:

  • Data Sovereignty Your media never live on our servers. You own the bucket, the keys, and the data.
  • Infinite Scalability Never worry about disk space. External providers allow you to store terabytes of data that grow with your needs.
  • Portability If you ever decide to move to a self-hosted server, you don't need to migrate your files. You simply point your new installation to your existing bucket.
  • Cost Efficiency Choose the provider that best fits your budget (e.g., Backblaze B2 for low-cost storage or Cloudflare R2 for zero egress fees).
