Example Use Cases

These are example ways Snow can use Countdown API when building apps with you. This list is meant to show examples, not document every possible capability. Connecting an account does not make Snow run these automatically on its own.

Supports Amazon S3, S3-compatible services (MinIO, DigitalOcean Spaces), Google Cloud Storage, Microsoft Azure Blob Storage, and Alibaba Cloud OSS. When enabled=true, the API validates credentials by uploading and deleting a test file. Set enabled=false to create the destination without credential validation.
