Appwrite Storage without authentication

Hey guys, I've been using Appwrite quite a bit for the database and realtime features but not much in storage.

However, I'm currently working on a project where I would only like to use Appwrite for the Storage bucket similar to S3.

Would need to know if this is possible. Would need two things.

• Upload image from the Web SDK without any user from Appwrite
• Retrieve image URL from Server using nodeJS SDK and pass a valid link to the frontend

Any help is welcome. Thanks in advance!

Sure thing!

You can use Appwrite for the storage bucket and achieve the following:

1. To upload an image from the Web SDK, create a new instance of Appwrite, set up a file object and use the Storage API to upload the file.

2. To retrieve an image URL from the server using the nodeJS SDK, create a new instance of Appwrite, use the Storage API to get the file download URL and pass it to the frontend.

Hey thanks for the reply.

So it's fine if I don't have users on Appwrite but use the Web SDK to upload the image and the Server NodeJS SDK to access the image?

Just to add on. If I try to use the Web SDK to upload files, I get the following error

AppwriteException: The current user is not authorized to perform the requested action.

Probably you should set permission for your bucket for any role

@Omnificent Yeah @AndrewIAm Cleared that You may need To update permission for your bucket To (Any) So any One can Upload in it
