Storage destinations
Every place Glimpo can record to, from S3, Backblaze B2, Cloudflare R2 and Wasabi to WebDAV, a NAS, a USB drive or rclone, and how to choose.
Updated 17 October 2026
Footage always lands on the hub first, then goes to every destination you add. Add as many as you like: every clip goes to all of them, through a retry queue that survives restarts and outages.
The options
| Destination | Good for | Setup |
|---|---|---|
| S3-compatible: AWS S3, Backblaze B2, Cloudflare R2, Wasabi, MinIO | Lots of cameras, 24/7 recording, low cost per TB | Bucket, endpoint and keys. Details |
| WebDAV: Nextcloud, Synology, ownCloud | Your own cloud at home or hosted | Address, username, password |
| Folder, NAS share or USB drive | Fast local copies with no monthly cost | Any path mounted on the hub |
| rclone | Any of rclone’s 100+ providers | Run rclone config on the hub, then enter remote:path |
| Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive | Using storage you already pay for | Coming soon: one-tap sign-in. Details |
How to choose
- A few cameras in Events mode: a small Backblaze B2 or Cloudflare R2 bucket costs very little, or use a NAS you already have.
- 24/7 recording or many cameras: use S3-compatible storage like Backblaze B2 or Cloudflare R2, or a NAS. Consumer drives (coming soon) have daily upload limits and free tiers fill fast.
- Belt and braces: add a local NAS or USB drive and a cloud destination. If the internet goes down, the local copy keeps going; if someone takes the hub, the cloud copy is safe.
Encrypted by default
Uploads are end-to-end encrypted: each file is sealed with AES-256-GCM on the hub before it leaves your home, so your provider stores only ciphertext. See Encryption and your recovery key.
Keeping it tidy
Retention runs automatically and every destination can have its own size limit, so Glimpo never fills your storage. See Retention and disk space.
Sharing a clip
From an event, Share link creates a link from your own cloud: an S3 pre-signed link valid for up to 7 days. Google Drive, Dropbox and OneDrive links will follow when sign-in for them arrives. It works for destinations without encryption, because encrypted clips can only be opened with your key. For police or insurance, a signed Proof Pack is often better.
