External Object Storage

Integrate your own object storage when creating projects

This integration allows you to create projects using your preferred cloud storage provider. You will have a control over access from Datasaur to your object storage.

This will be very beneficial for doc-based and bounding-box project because Datasaur only saves questions and answers (without the file data) from the project.

But for both token-based and row-based, the data is still being processed and copied to our database. We're still working to also make these types supported.

You can select your preferred object storage on the first step just like figure below. Datasaur will not copy the files that are selected.
