We are removing support for the file storage platform as of March 29, 2020.
The NodeHost Storage Platform is a new system for hosting and serving files on any site. Files are uploaded and encoded into a database storage system so are not saved as files on disk to keep access to the files as fast as it can be.
The platform is made for site resource sharing. Designed for developers sharing JS or CSS files and other resources with many sites they manage.
