Storage Bucket

The Storage Bucket add-on gives your account a dedicated S3-compatible storage bucket with unlimited capacity. All your uploads go to your own bucket instead of Emberly's shared storage.

What is a Storage Bucket?

By default, files you upload are stored in Emberly's managed storage. With a Storage Bucket add-on you get:

Dedicated bucket — isolated from other users' data
Unlimited capacity — no storage quota cap from your plan
Your own S3 credentials — direct access to your data at any time
Compatible with any S3 client — AWS CLI, rclone, Cyberduck, etc.

Getting a Storage Bucket

Storage Bucket is a paid add-on available on the pricing page.

Once purchased, Emberly allocates a bucket for your account. Your credentials appear immediately at embrly.ca/dashboard/bucket.

Viewing Your Credentials

Go to embrly.ca/dashboard/bucket
Your credentials are displayed:

Field	Description
Bucket name	Name of your S3 bucket
Provider	Storage provider (e.g. AWS, Cloudflare R2)
Region	S3 region
Endpoint	S3 endpoint URL
Access Key ID	S3 access key (read from dashboard)

Treat credentials as secrets

Do not share your bucket credentials. They grant full read/write access to all your stored files.

Accessing Your Bucket Directly

You can access your bucket using any S3-compatible client.

AWS CLI

aws s3 ls s3://your-bucket-name \
  --endpoint-url https://your-endpoint \
  --region your-region

rclone

[emberly]
type = s3
provider = Other
access_key_id = YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_ID
secret_access_key = YOUR_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
endpoint = https://your-endpoint

rclone ls emberly:your-bucket-name

When you upload a file to Emberly (via dashboard, API, or Flicker), it is automatically stored in your dedicated bucket instead of shared storage. The file URL and management features remain identical to standard uploads — the only difference is where the bytes live.

No Bucket Assigned?

If you visit embrly.ca/dashboard/bucket without a bucket assigned, you'll see a prompt to purchase the add-on on the pricing page.
