Private storage that works with everything.
Garage gives you a private place to store all your files, photos, videos, and documents. It works with hundreds of popular apps behind the scenes, so they always have a secure home for your data — without relying on someone else's server.
What makes Garage S3 worth launching.
Connect Garage to tools like Nextcloud, Mastodon, PeerTube, Matrix, and more — any app that supports standard cloud storage works right out of the box.
Your files are automatically stored in multiple places, so even if something goes wrong, your data stays safe and available.
Store your website files in a bucket and serve them directly — perfect for blogs, portfolio sites, and landing pages with no complex setup.
If you fit one of these, Garage S3 is probably built for you.
Practical scenarios where Garage S3 makes a real difference.
