Frequently Asked Questions

What is StorageLink?

StorageLink is a secure, browser-based file transfer portal that connects users directly to your private cloud storage.

Instead of requiring an SFTP client or using a third-party file-sharing service, users simply sign in through a web browser and drag and drop files to upload or download them.

SFTP Gateway and StorageLink solve similar file-transfer problems for different users.

SFTP Gateway provides traditional SFTP access to cloud storage and works with standard SFTP clients, scripts, and automated integrations.

StorageLink provides a browser-based interface designed for people who want a simple, visual way to upload and download files without installing or configuring an SFTP client.

Your files remain in the cloud storage locations you configure, including Azure Blob Storage.

StorageLink runs within your own Azure environment and transfers files directly between your users and cloud storage rather than storing them with a third-party file-sharing provider.

Yes. Each user can be assigned their own home folder and permissions.

Administrators can control whether users can list, upload, download, overwrite, or delete files. Permissions can also be configured for individual folders.

Yes. StorageLink folders can be mapped so multiple users have access to the same cloud storage location.

This makes it easy to create shared folders for teams, customers, vendors, or other groups while keeping private folders separate.

Yes. You can replace the default StorageLink branding with your own logo, favicon, page title, colors, and fonts.

This lets you provide customers and partners with a private file-sharing portal that matches your company’s brand.

 

Yes. StorageLink integrates with Microsoft Entra ID as an identity provider.

Both administrators and web users can authenticate using their existing Microsoft credentials, allowing you to manage access through your existing identity environment rather than maintaining separate StorageLink passwords.

Yes. StorageLink can use a system-assigned Azure Managed Identity to access Azure Blob Storage.

This eliminates the need to hard-code a storage account connection string and allows Azure to handle credential management and rotation.

Yes. StorageLink can be deployed on AWS using either a single-instance architecture or a high-availability CloudFormation configuration.

High-availability deployments can use multiple StorageLink instances with AWS load balancing, auto scaling, and a shared database.

StorageLink costs $0.08 per hour while the virtual machine is running, plus your underlying Azure infrastructure costs.

A 30-day free trial is included. After the trial ends, software charges are billed through Azure Marketplace.

Deploy StorageLink directly from Azure Marketplace into your Azure subscription.

After creating the virtual machine, open the StorageLink web administration interface to complete the initial setup, connect your cloud storage, and create users.
