Bring Your Own Bucket (BYOB)

Dreep allows project owners on Starter or Pro plans to connect their own S3-compatible cloud storage bucket. Once connected, all raw uploads, processed image variants, and HLS video transcode segments for that project are stored directly in your own cloud infrastructure.
Zero Storage Limits: BYOB projects store files on your own cloud bucket. Dreep does not meter or charge for your storage byte volume.

​
Supported Providers

Dreep supports any S3-compatible object storage provider:
  • AWS S3
  • Cloudflare R2
  • Wasabi
  • DigitalOcean Spaces
  • MinIO (Self-hosted)
  • Generic S3 Interop (GCP S3 API, Backblaze B2 S3 API)

​
Required Bucket Permissions

Your IAM user or access key must have read, write, and delete permissions on the target bucket.

​
Connecting Your Bucket in the Dashboard

  1. Navigate to Settings > Storage & BYOB in your Dreep Dashboard.
  2. Click Connect Your Own Bucket (BYOB).
  3. Select your provider (AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, Wasabi, etc.).
  4. Enter your Bucket Name, S3 Endpoint URL, Access Key ID, and Secret Access Key.
  5. Click Test Connection to verify permissions.
  6. Click Connect Bucket.

​
Access Control & Security

All Dreep access control rules (public, private, and signed folders) work seamlessly with BYOB:
  • Public Folders: Served via Dreep’s global proxy CDN or your custom CDN domain.
  • Private Folders: Retain 100% security behind authenticated session tokens.
  • Signed Folders: Time-limited HMAC signed URLs (?exp=...&sig=...) stream object bytes securely from your BYOB bucket.
