Cloud Media Stores

Media storage systems have been steadily moving away from local storage to remote, server-based storage and processing. This chapter provides integration information with a host of cloud storage solutions. Most of the cloud stores use a flat file system with no directory structure that you see in Windows folders. However, some of them allow a hierarchical file names to imitate a folder structure. For example 2021/11/23/somefilename.txt

Wherever possible,  hierarchical file names are configurable and the naming convention is based on the current date and time that allows granularity to milliseconds. For example you can use the prefix yyyy\MM\dd\HH\mm\ss\fff to name the files, or any arbitrary sub-string can be added to the format string.
