What is File Storage?

A file manager you add to your app, not build

File Storage is a JavaScript SDK that drops a complete file browser into any web page. Built for SaaS dashboards, admin panels, and CMS tools - your users get a polished media library, and you skip months of UI, upload, and storage work.

Your users get

A complete media library

Folders, uploads, search, previews, and grid or table views - the file browser people already know how to use.

Your files live

In your bucket, or ours

Connect your own S3 bucket through a small server proxy - keys never reach the browser - or use Managed storage with no AWS account at all.

Compare both setups ↓

You add

One script and one call

Load the CDN bundle, call mount() with your API key. Works with any framework - no build step needed.

Two ways to run it

Plug and play, or keep files on your own storage

Same file manager and features either way. The only difference is where the files are stored and who runs the storage.

Start free

We host your files

Sign up, create an API key, paste the snippet. No AWS account, no server code. Free includes 1 GB managed storage with hard caps - upgrade when you outgrow it.

Best for: Agencies, MVPs, no-backend sites
You need: A Free account and a script tag
Files live in: Our managed AWS storage
Setup time: About 5 minutes

FileStorageSDK.mount({
  el: '#files',
  apiKey: 'fs_live_…',
  http: {
    baseUrl: 'https://api.filestorage.io/v1/managed',
    headers: () => ({
      'X-FileStorage-Api-Key': 'fs_live_…',
    }),
  },
})

Your bucket

Files stay in your cloud

Connect your own S3, R2, Azure, or GCS through a small proxy. Keys never reach the browser. BYO works on Free - unlike competitors that gate cloud connectors behind paid plans.

Best for: SaaS products, teams already on AWS
You need: A bucket and a small server proxy
Files live in: S3, R2, MinIO, Azure, or Google Cloud
Setup time: An afternoon

FileStorageSDK.mount({
  el: '#files',
  apiKey: 'fs_live_…',
  s3: { proxyBaseUrl: '/api/files' },
})

FAQ

Questions developers ask first

What it is, what you need to run it, and what it costs.

More in the full FAQ, the docs, or contact us - we reply within one business day.

What is File Storage?

File Storage is an embeddable file manager for web apps. You add one script and one stylesheet, call FileStorageSDK.mount(), and your users get folders, uploads, search, previews, and an image toolkit inside your product. Start on Free with your own S3 or 1 GB managed storage; Solo ($15) removes the badge for one site; Pro adds AI, mobile widgets, and multi-site.

Can I try it before paying?

Yes. The playground and widget gallery are free to explore. Create a Free account for a production API key with 1 GB managed storage or your own S3. Upgrade to Solo for white label on one website, Pro for AI and mobile widgets across multiple sites, or Business for access modes and audit.

What plans do you offer?

Free ($0): try on 1 site with a badge, 1 GB managed or your own S3. Solo ($15/mo): one production website, white label, image editor, 15 GB. Pro ($29/mo): 5 websites, AI, mobile widgets, 50 GB. Business ($99/mo): 15 websites, access modes, audit log. Enterprise: custom. All prices in USD.

Do I need my own Amazon account?

No. Free through Business include managed storage. Prefer your own bucket? Connect S3 (or R2, Spaces, Azure, GCS) via our proxy or HTTP contract on any plan - including Free.

Which frameworks are supported?

Anything that can load a script: plain HTML, React, Vue, Angular, Svelte, and server-rendered apps. Mount it in your lifecycle hook and call unmount() on teardown. Ready-made plugins for TinyMCE, CKEditor 5, and Froala are included; Drupal and Joomla modules are on the roadmap. Mobile widgets run in iOS / Android WebViews, React Native, and Flutter.

Do I need a backend?

Not for managed storage - paste your API key and mount. With your own storage, run our reference Node.js proxy (a few environment variables) or implement the documented HTTP contract in PHP, Laravel, or any server.

Do my AWS credentials go in the browser?

Never. With your own storage, the SDK talks to your proxy or HTTP API and credentials stay on your server. With managed storage, files live on our infrastructure and you never handle cloud keys.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Cancel from your dashboard and your paid plan stays active until the end of the period you already paid for. After that the account falls back to Free (keys keep working within Free limits).
