Object Flow

There are a number of ways for objects to be placed into buckets including:

• Direct upload
• CLI
• Through applications providing interfaces and workflows with employees, customers, partners, etc.

Event Driven Scanning

For new files uploaded to a storage volume

Via on-demand and/or scheduled requests for pre-existing files

API Driven Scanning

Using a REST API interface
