💾 Custom File Storage

🌩️ Introduction to BYOC (Bring Your Own Cloud)​

OpenSign supports BYOC (Bring Your Own Cloud) — allowing you to store your documents in your own cloud storage instead of OpenSign’s default storage.

With BYOC, organizations and users gain greater control, privacy, and compliance flexibility by connecting their preferred cloud providers such as AWS S3 or DigitalOcean Spaces.

🧠 Why BYOC?

  • Maintain complete ownership and control of your documents.
  • Comply with internal, regional, or client-specific data policies.
  • Choose your preferred cloud region or provider for better performance and compliance.

🚀 How to Access the Custom File Storage Setup​

Follow the steps below to navigate to the Custom File Storage setup page in OpenSign:

  1. Log in to your OpenSign account using an Admin account.
  2. Click on your profile menu (top-right corner) and select Console.
  3. In the left sidebar, go to Storage.

You will now be on the Custom File Storage setup page where you can configure your own storage provider.

🔒 Note: Access to Custom File Storage settings is available only to Admin users. Regular users will not see this option in their menu.

🔔 Set Up File Storage​

By default, all users are connected to OpenSign’s default file storage.
If you prefer to use your own custom cloud storage (BYOC), you can easily configure it here.

You can set up an AWS S3 bucket or DigitalOcean Space to store your uploaded documents securely.
To configure OpenSign with your cloud storage, refer to this detailed guide:

⚠️ Important Note​

In some cases, documents stored in your custom (BYOC) file storage may not load in OpenSign due to CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) policy restrictions.
If you’ve activated custom file storage, ensure your cloud configuration allows OpenSign to access your documents and does not block requests due to CORS errors.
