Object-based cloud storage
APDocs stores your files in object-based cloud storage services from either AWS or Wasabi.
We take this approach as these services provide massive, flat-architecture scalability, enabling cost-effective storage of unstructured data, making them ideal for cloud-native apps, big data, and archives.
At the moment we prefer Wasabi. Its disruptive, single-tier pricing model that excludes traditional fees for data egress and API requests provides fantastic value for money.

How APDocs powers controlled document workflows
Storage is only part of document control. APDocs adds governance, traceability, and secure access across every revision — while your teams keep working in the tools they already use.
Pull files
Retrieve controlled documents on demand via API and always serve the latest approved revision with the right permissions.
Immutable history
Maintain a tamper-resistant audit trail across revisions and approvals — making reviews and audits straightforward.
Indexed retrieval
Find documents quickly using structured metadata — enabling reporting, oversight, and faster operations without folder-hunting.
What you get on top of object storage
- Governed access with role-aware retrieval
- Revision history and audit trail across approvals
- Ransomware protection via object lock and resilient copy strategies
- Links and metadata written back into your workflow system
Designed to start small
Keep your existing tools. Connect storage once, then expand usage as workflows grow.
