Vercel Blob Launches Private Storage in Public Beta

·2026.02.19 22:00

Key point

Vercel Blob has launched a private storage feature in public beta for storing sensitive files.

Details

Vercel Blob has launched Private storage in public beta, allowing secure storage of sensitive files such as contracts, invoices, and internal reports. Private storage requires authentication for all operations, preventing data exposure through public URLs.

Unlike the existing Public storage, which supports public reads for media assets, private storage is optimized for managing data that requires security.

Here's how to create and use the storage:

  • Can be created via the Storage dashboard or CLI
  • When using the CLI, the BLOB_READ_WRITE_TOKEN environment variable is automatically added and used for SDK authentication
  • Apply the access: 'private' option when calling the put or upload methods in the SDK
  • File downloads are performed via streaming using the get method

This feature is available on all plans, and existing Vercel Blob pricing applies.
