If we download the NOCODB software, install and completely SELF-HOST NOCODB server ourselves in our own server OR using a cloud service provider, can we then 1. Map and store the images in our own cloud bucket (like AWS S3 / Google Cloud bucket) ? 2. Store all data records in our own postgresql instance hosted by us in cloud? (this part I am sure is feasible) Thanks in advance for your response/suggestions. ---

hope this helps… 1. you can enable storage plugin at [App Store](https://docs.nocodb.com/account-settings/oss-specific-details/#app-store) and then all attachments will be stored in that. 2. [Data sources overview | NocoDB](https://docs.nocodb.com/data-sources/data-source-overview) ---

Thanks @sairam.kuppusamy for posting your question here from the email. To further clarify the answer from @rajanish with context in your email. If you intend to map an existing file in s3/azure to a row it’s not possible. However, you can easily download your files and upload it back to the rows after having set the [storage credentials](https://docs.nocodb.com/getting-started/self-hosted/environment-variables/) (search for s3 related) ---

Thanks Navi. We are trying to oversome the limitations on storage size (25GB) as our business deals with high resolution CGI images / Videos rendered from 3D files. So we quickly consume a lots of space… If I understand this correct, I will be able to do the following:- 1. Setup the environment variables (storage) to point to S3 /aZURE bucket / folders. This setting will control the storage of attachments 2. Then manually upload images into attachments which will get stored in above (s3/azure) destination as configured 3. I need to do a 1 time exercise of downloading all current attachments and upload them using some script/automation/manual. (As there is NO solution to map attachments of existing rows) I could see your reply mentioning only S3 and AZURE. So is Google Cloud Storage supported? Thanks a lot ---

It appears [we support](https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb/tree/14a1bd733db44619abcb4418bb22ad4b42b93219/packages/nocodb/src/plugins/gcs). Did you try it ? ---

Hi Navi, Thanks for your response. I am still stuck with the following step:- 1. I have created a postgresql instance/database (root\_db) on Google Cloud Services (CloudSQL) 2. Then I try to create a Service using Google Cloud Run (using the docker image) and I also add 2 environment variables NC\_DB and NC\_AUTH\_JWT\_SECRET and then create the service. Step 2 gets the following error: Error: Error: Configuration missing meta db connection at NcConfig.create (/usr/src/app/docker/main.js:2:1871941) If there is any guidane/write up on achieving the following please share links. Thanks in advance We want the database to be our own (postgresql on Google Cloud Service) We want the images/files to be stores in Google Storage. Thanks Sairam ---

It looks like the error occurs when `database` name is missing in the connection parameter, Can you double check the `NC_DB` value and if possible share a sample connection url similar to yours with dummy value.
