# Overview

Claid API Storages provide a convenient and secure mechanism to work with images directly in your object storage without having to expose Image URLs publicly, or using uploads.

Currently, Claid supports [AWS S3](/storage-connectors/aws-s3.md) and [Google Cloud Storage](/storage-connectors/google-cloud-storage.md). [Web Folder](/storage-connectors/web-folder.md) is a convenience mechanism to register a URL prefix of a publicly accessible image location, e.g. images hosted on CDN.

The default way to add a storage is via the [Storage page](https://claid.ai/account/storage) of Claid.ai user dashboard. We also expose the [Storage API](/storage-connectors/api-reference.md) in case you will need to add storages programmatically.

You can find details on how to reference images in Storages in [Image I/O](/image-editing-api/image-i-o.md) section.
