Disciple.Tools - Storage
Disciple.Tools - Storage is intended to help manage connections with remote object storage services, such as AWS S3, Backblaze, etc.
Purpose
Provide the ability to store/retrieve all storage content within 3rd party object storage services; offering greater security.
Security
Keep your files in a private S3 Bucket, protected from being findable from the web. This integration with Disciple.Tools creates short lived links (24 hours) to display images.
