Usage

Once connected:
  • Use ApexxCloud’s transformation features and CDN with files in your bucket
  • All file operations (upload, delete, etc.) must be done directly through your storage provider
  • Original files remain in your bucket
  • Transformed versions are managed by ApexxCloud

​
Example URLs

Original S3 URL: 
https://my-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/images/photo.jpg
New ApexxCloud URL (with transformations): 
https://cdn.apexxcloud.com/f/{access_id}/tr-w_500,h_300/images/photo.jpg
You should use the same object key from your original bucket.
