The Assets surface is where you store and manage files used in your app — images, videos, documents, fonts, and other media. Files are served from the file storage provider configured in your project.

​
What you can do

  • Upload files individually or in bulk
  • Browse assets with search and filters
  • Preview images, videos, and documents in place
  • Copy URLs for use in code or pages
  • Delete assets, with confirmation
  • Organize assets with folders and tags

​
Uploading

Click Upload in the Assets surface or drag and drop files into the browser. Archie processes the upload, stores the file in your configured provider (S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob, Filestack), and adds it to the asset index. For large files or batches, the upload runs in the background and the asset appears once processing completes. You can keep working while uploads run.

​
Using assets in your app

Once uploaded, an asset has a URL you can reference from anywhere:
  • The visual editor — replace an image element by selecting and uploading
  • Frontend code — paste the URL into an <img> or Image component
  • Custom functions — fetch the asset server-side
  • Generated email templates — reference assets by URL
Asset URLs are stable. Re-uploading a file with the same name produces the same URL by default, so existing references keep working.

​
Storage providers

Files are stored in the file storage provider configured for your project. Archie supports:
  • AWS S3 — default for most projects
  • Google Cloud Storage
  • Azure Blob Storage
  • Filestack
Each provider integrates with a CDN, so assets are served fast worldwide. Switch providers in App services → File manager.

​
Limits

Limits depend on your plan and the provider’s quotas:
  • Starter backend — 1 GB included, $0.021/GB/mo overage, 25 GB max
  • Professional backend — 10 GB included, same overage rate, 250 GB max
  • Enterprise — custom

Yes. Each storage provider integrates with a global CDN (CloudFront for S3, Cloud CDN for GCS, Azure CDN for Blob). Asset URLs are CDN URLs — no extra setup needed.
Yes. The asset upload API is available through the REST API and the typed client. Authenticate with an API key.
URLs return 404 immediately. References in your code or pages should be updated before deletion. The asset history shows deleted assets for 30 days, after which the file is permanently removed.
