Why choose Square Cloud Blob Storage?
As the largest bot hosting platform in Latin America, trusted by 80 of the 100 largest Brazilian Discord servers, we built Blob Storage to solve a problem our own community kept hitting: Discord’s CDN was never meant to be a storage backend, and links break, expire or get rate-limited. Blob Storage replaces that with an S3-backed object store designed for durability. The architecture is deliberately simple and robust: S3 (IDrive e2) is the source of truth for your objects, with metadata in MongoDB and a Cloudflare CDN in front for edge delivery. That gives you the ~11-nines durability of an S3 design with the read latency of a global cache. Every plan ships generous included quotas, with a transparent pay-as-you-go model for overages.Blob Storage is currently in beta. If you have any feedback, please contact us.

Zero ingress/egress fees. Upload and serve as much as you need — you pay for storage, never for bandwidth.
S3-backed durability
Objects are stored on an S3 source of truth (IDrive e2) with a design targeting 99.999999999% durability — no single disk failure loses your data.
Global Cloudflare CDN
Served from Cloudflare’s edge network with edge caching, so hot assets are delivered close to your users worldwide.
Scales with you
Headroom for up to 1PB of storage and 1 billion requests/day — the same store scales from a hobby project to production traffic.
