Key point
Replit has released **App Storage**, a built-in object storage solution that makes it easy to store and manage large files such as images, videos, and PDFs.
Details
Replit has announced App Storage, a built-in object storage solution that lets you host and store large files—such as images, videos, and documents—directly within your application. It's a rebrand of the existing Object Storage, and emphasizes seamless setup through Replit Agent.
App Storage provides the following key features:
- Large file storage: Robust storage for large assets such as images, videos, and documents
- Auth and database integration: Per-user permission settings and database table integration for file details (owner, type, size)
- Permission management: Sensible default permissions so the right users can access the right files
- UI scaffolding: UI flows that users can keep as-is or customize
Replit Agent handles the entire stack—design, database, auth, and code generation—and now also handles integration with App Storage more intelligently. Users simply describe the feature they want, and the Agent builds the whole structure, including storage setup.
File uploads happen through the App Storage SDK (JavaScript, Python), and admins can manage files directly by Bucket in the Replit workspace. A bucket is the top-level container that holds files (objects), organizing data via keys such as paths.
