Data Storage

Post by Daveinthebigcity » Mon Mar 16, 2015 5:35 pm

Hi,
I'm looking to setup a storage bucket where app users can upload/download data e.g. text files or images to a central location. Does anyone have any suggestions? I've looked at Amazon S3 and Google Cloud but they are all a bit complicated. I'm guessing I'd need to use the ftp command but not sure which service I should use.
Any pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks
:)

FTP is insecure (passwords are sent over the wire in plain text), so it's only useful on local networks.

How many users do you need to provide this for? And are they members of a trusted team or the general public?

Thanks for the reply. It is for anyone who downloads the app so general public and really no upper limit on number of users. I have a MySQL database which holds text (No issues here) but then when it comes to storing images I've hit a wall.
Thanks.

Thanks!
I wasn't sure if I could add http forms into my code but I will give this a shot anyway.
