How to integrate BinariiDSM with Impossible Cloud Storage
This guide explains how to add Impossible Cloud Storage as a storage endpoint in BinariiDSM.
BinariiDSM (Data Security Management) is a secure file management and virtual data room solution by Binarii Labs. It encrypts, fragments, and distributes data across user-controlled storage endpoints, ensuring no complete file is held in a single location. Impossible Cloud Storage is supported as a native cloud location in BinariiDSM. Once configured, it appears in the cloud location overview and BinariiDSM will automatically distribute uploaded files across all configured storage endpoints, including Impossible Cloud.
Prerequisites
- A bucket in your Impossible Cloud Storage console. See Creating a bucket.
- An access key ID and secret access key with permissions on that bucket. See Creating access credentials.
- BinariiDSM installed and accessible.
BinariiDSM is designed around three configured storage endpoint locations. Three endpoints are the standard setup and are all that's required for DSM's redundancy and availability model. If you plan to use Impossible Cloud Storage for the full endpoint set, prepare three buckets in different regions.
Step 1: Add Impossible Cloud as a Cloud Location in BinariiDSM
Open BinariiDSM and navigate to Settings. Click Manage Storage Endpoints.
In the Add Location dialog:
- Under Public Clouds, select Impossible Cloud from the dropdown.
- Enter your bucket name in the Bucket Name field.
- Enter your credentials in the Access Key ID and Secret Access Key fields.
- Select the region your bucket was created in from the Region dropdown.
- Click Add.
Bucket versioning and object lock are not officially supported by BinariiDSM, since DSM manages its own versioning and deletion logic at the application level. We recommend leaving both disabled on buckets used with BinariiDSM, or contacting BinariiDSM support first if you need them enabled.
Step 2: Verify the Cloud Location
After clicking Add, the new location appears in the cloud location overview. BinariiDSM will include it as one of the endpoints across which uploaded files are automatically distributed.
