## STORAGE_BACKEND
Default: None (local storage)
The backend storage engine for handling uploaded files (e.g. image attachments). NetBox supports integration with the [`django-storages`](https://django-storages.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) package, which provides backends for several popular file storage services. If not configured, local filesystem storage will be used.
The configuration parameters for the specified storage backend are defined under the `STORAGE_CONFIG` setting.
---
## STORAGE_CONFIG
Default: Empty
A dictionary of configuration parameters for the storage backend configured as `STORAGE_BACKEND`. The specific parameters to be used here are specific to each backend; see the [`django-storages` documentation](https://django-storages.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) for more detail.
If `STORAGE_BACKEND` is not defined, this setting will be ignored.

## Remote File Storage (Optional)
By default, NetBox will use the local filesystem to storage uploaded files. To use a remote filesystem, install the [`django-storages`](https://django-storages.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) library and configure your [desired backend](../../configuration/optional-settings/#storage_backend) in `configuration.py`.
```no-highlight
# pip3 install django-storages

# Configuration
Move into the NetBox configuration directory and make a copy of `configuration.example.py` named `configuration.py`.

NetBox now supports the bulk import of device components such as console ports, power ports, and interfaces. Device
components can be imported in CSV-format.
### External File Storage ([#1814](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/1814))
In prior releases, the only option for storing uploaded file (e.g. image attachments) was to save them to the local
filesystem on the NetBox server. This release introduces support for several remote storage backends via the
[`django-storages`](https://django-storages.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) package. These include:
* Amazon S3
* ApacheLibcloud
* Azure Storage
* DigitalOcean Spaces
* Dropbox
* FTP
* Google Cloud Storage
* SFTP
To enable remote file storage, first install `django-storages`:
```
pip install django-storages
```
Then, set the appropriate storage backend and its configuration in `configuration.py`. Here's an example using Amazon
S3:
```python
STORAGE_BACKEND = 'storages.backends.s3boto3.S3Boto3Storage'
STORAGE_CONFIG = {
'AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID': '<Key>',
'AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY': '<Secret>',
'AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME': 'netbox',
'AWS_S3_REGION_NAME': 'eu-west-1',
}
```
