ANTE User ManualStorage (Developer)
The Storage screen shows the status of ANTE's single, shared object-storage bucket (S3 / DigitalOcean Spaces) and lets you monitor how much space each company is using inside it. Object storage is no longer configured per company — the whole install shares one bucket, with every company's files kept separate under their own folder.
⚠️ Developer Access Only
This screen is part of the Developer portal and is only available to accounts with developer privileges.
Getting Here
- Open the Developer portal.
- In the sidebar, open the System group.
- Click Storage.
Page Layout
The page has two cards:
Shared Object Storage (S3 / DO Spaces)
A read-only status card for the one credential the whole install uses.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Status | Configured ✓ when a complete credential is present, or Not configured. |
| Endpoint | The storage endpoint in use. |
| Region | The storage region in use. |
| Bucket | The bucket name in use. |
| Access Key | The access key, shown masked (e.g. DO80***ZFKU). |
There are no fields to edit here — the credential is set once for the whole install via the server environment, not from this screen. To change it, the credential must be updated and the server redeployed.
Click Test Connection to confirm the configured bucket actually works. ANTE writes a small test file to the bucket and immediately deletes it; a pop-up message reports success or failure (with an error detail on failure). The button is disabled until a credential is configured.
Storage Usage by Company
A table listing every company's storage consumption inside the shared bucket, since every company's files live under their own company-<id> folder in that one bucket.
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Company | The company name. |
| Storage Used | Total size of that company's files (shown as B / KB / MB / GB / etc.). |
| Files | Number of files stored for that company. |
| Last Computed | When this row was last recalculated, or "Never" if it hasn't been computed yet. |
Click Refresh (top-right of the card) to recompute every company's usage from what's actually in the bucket right now. This can take a moment on a large bucket. A confirmation message appears once it's done. If no usage has ever been computed, the table shows an empty message inviting you to click Refresh.
Common Tasks
Checking whether storage is configured
- Go to Developer → System → Storage.
- Look at the Shared Object Storage card's status — Configured ✓ or Not configured.
Testing the storage connection
- Go to Developer → System → Storage.
- Click Test Connection on the Shared Object Storage card.
- A pop-up reports success or failure. On failure, the message includes the underlying error.
Checking a company's storage usage
- Go to Developer → System → Storage.
- Find the company in the Storage Usage by Company table.
- If the Last Computed value looks stale, click Refresh to recompute all companies' usage.
Tips
- This screen is monitoring only — it does not enforce storage limits or let you delete files.
- Because there's a single shared bucket for the whole install, any change to the credential (via the environment) affects every company at once.
