Quotas and Limits

Performance Tips

1. Use Multipart Upload for files > 5MB
2. Enable Caching with ETags
3. Compress Large Files before upload
4. Use Presigned URLs for direct client uploads
5. Implement Retry Logic for network failures

Security Considerations

• All uploads are scanned for malware
• File types are validated
• Presigned URLs expire automatically
• Access control per bucket
• Encryption at rest
• SSL/TLS for transfers
