Object-based cloud storage
APDocs stores your files in object-based cloud storage from either AWS S3 or Wasabi.
Object storage scales almost without limit and stores documents cost-effectively, which makes it a good fit for a system of record that keeps every version of every file.
Our default is Wasabi. Its single-tier pricing has no fees for data egress or API requests, which keeps costs predictable. Storage is included in every APDocs plan.
Choice of storage
-
Wasabi:
-
AWS S3:
- Cyber resilience
- Durability & availability
- Regional control
Multifaceted protection
Our cyber resilience features include Object Lock for immutability (protection against ransomware) and Wasabi Covert Copy (virtual air-gapping).
What that gives your system of record:
- Object Lock: your files cannot be overwritten
- Covert Copy: a complete disaster recovery copy of every file is maintained
- Encryption: all your files are encrypted at rest
- Blockchain record keeping: every version of a document is linked into a tamper-evident chain
- Nothing is thrown away: every version of every file is stored
Durable and available
Two separate measures matter here: durability (your documents are not lost or corrupted over time) and availability (they can be reached when you need them).
Our storage providers are designed for:
- 99.999999999% (eleven nines) data durability
- 99.99% availability
Choice of regional storage, bring your own access keys
Do you need your files stored in a particular legal jurisdiction?
Or do you already have your own AWS or Wasabi account?
Either way, you can:
- Select the best data centre for your needs
- Always have your own, exclusive storage bucket
- Bring your own access and API keys
More than storage
Storage is only part of document control. APDocs adds governance, traceability, and secure access across every revision — while your teams keep working in the tools they already use. See how APDocs works.
Pull files
Retrieve controlled documents on demand via API and always serve the latest approved revision with the right permissions.
Immutable history
Maintain a tamper-resistant audit trail across revisions and approvals — making reviews and audits straightforward.
Indexed retrieval
Find documents quickly using structured metadata — enabling reporting, oversight, and faster operations without folder-hunting.
What you get on top of object storage
- Governed access with role-aware retrieval
- Revision history and audit trail across approvals
- Ransomware protection via object lock and resilient copy strategies
- Links and metadata written back into your workflow system
Designed to start small
Keep your existing tools. Connect storage once, then expand usage as workflows grow.
