Files SDK launched as a unified storage layer that exposes a common API for object and blob backends including S3, Cloudflare R2, Google Cloud Storage, Azure, Vercel Blob, and other providers. The project emphasizes one small cross-provider API for upload, download, list, delete, and metadata operations while still allowing access to native provider clients when needed.

Summary

What changed

Files SDK launched a cross-provider storage SDK for object and blob backends.

Why it matters

Storage portability is still fragmented across cloud providers and platform blobs. A unified API lowers the integration cost for AI products and developer tools that need to swap storage backends, support customer-specific infrastructure, or run across multiple clouds without rewriting storage logic.

Evidence excerpt

Files SDK describes itself as a unified storage SDK for object and blob backends with one API across providers and support for common file operations.
