Private Cloud Storage

Private Cloud Storage

PrintFactory default account set-up is to store your data in the data center the belongs to your region. This means that if your company is located in Europe then the data will be stored in the European data center.

In case you would like to store your data (Resources/Assets) in your own private account this is possible. Below the steps to follow:

Also we ask customer to set this up when your using the Cloud Nester and want to use the Reprint and Reroute functionality or submit Jobs from Cloud Nester to multiple sites. We will upload documents to your storage and therefore can access the Documents everywhere and enable these functionalities.

    2. Navigate to Amazon S3 -> Buckets -> Click "Create Bucket"
    3. Specify the Bucket name (any you like)
    4. Unblock Public Access

      ] } ] }
