Bilt Cloud stores the files your app’s users upload — profile photos, videos, PDFs — in buckets you can browse on the Files tab under Settings → Database. If it’s not on yet, click Enable Storage (or ask Bilt to add uploads and it switches on automatically).

​
Buckets

A bucket is a folder for one kind of file. Each bucket is either:
  • Public (amber) — anyone with a link can view the files. Good for profile pictures
  • User-protected (green) — not publicly viewable; your app controls who sees what
Create one with + New bucket (lowercase name, 2–63 characters). After creating it, open the bucket’s settings to add a per-file size limit and restrict file types (for example image/*, application/pdf).

​
Working with files

Open a bucket to browse its files with search, or add files yourself — click Upload or drag and drop them onto the panel. Per file you can:
  • Get link — creates a share link that works for 5 minutes, handy for checking a file or sending it to someone quickly
  • Delete — removes the file permanently
Deleting a whole bucket asks you to confirm, and deleting one that still has files requires ticking an extra “delete all files inside” box.
