  • When I use Cloage to upload a file , instead of one file, I get multiple files with different sizes on my partition. Why is that?

    This is one of the properties and functions of WordPress, that after uploading images, it automatically creates different sizes to use in different parts of WordPress, this function is called thumbnails.

  • WP-offload or Cloage? Which one would be the best for my wordpress website?

    The Cloage WordPress plugin is used to connect a professional partition to a WordPress website. After connecting, your files and data in the WordPress media section, WooCommerce product media and their backup files created by Duplicator will be added and saved in the professional partition on Cloage.

    The WP Offload Media is for connecting the S3 partitions of Cloage to the WordPress website After installation. With one click, you can transfer all media files to your S3 partition. WooCommerce files and the EDD file store are also easily stored on the S3 partition. This plugin is compatible with plugins such as Smush Image, Divi Builder, WPML and more.

     Wp offload media is a great choice if you have and operate a  large and high-traffic WordPress website.

  • How can I connect Cloage to my WordPress website?

    With Cloage’s WordPress Plugin. You can get it from WordPress Repository by searching for Cloage, or you can get it from here.

  • How can I create a direct download link?

    In a professional partition, after uploading the file, just make it public so that the link mark appears in front of the file. Clicking on the link icon will save the direct link of the file to your clipboard.

     

    On the S3 partition, by setting the policy for the bucket, you can generalize the files in a bucket and get the link to the files in the MinIO panel manually or using the MinIO client.

  • How can I display the videos I have uploaded on Cloage on my website?

    For this you need to create a professional partition or S3 partition (it is better to set your subdomain on the partition). Then just upload the video files to the Cloage partition, make the file public and place the video link on the page using the <video> tag on the desired page. If you have a WordPress website, you can upload your video from the WordPress media section in the Cloage and place it on your WordPress website using the official WordPress plugin for the professional partition and using the “wp offload media” plugin for the S3 partition.

  • How can I disable all my public links and change them to personal?

    You can make your partitions personal and public simply by going to the “settings” section of your partition and make your partition completely public to those with a link to it.

  • How can I remove a partition?

    Click on a partition you want to delete or remove, scroll down to the bottom of the “Settings” section and delete the partition.

    NOTE: If you delete this partition, you can NOT restore it.

  • Would I need to use an FTP client such as Filezilla to upload my files?

    No, Cloage’s file manager in the dashboard does the job of managing, organizing and categorizing the files for you, and you can simply upload data from the dashboard or using the backup cli and API. So you do not need to use the FTP protocol to upload or manage your files.

  • If I add my website’s media on Cloage cloud, will it increase my website’s load time?

    Yes, you will get better load times! due to the replica storages of your data on multiple servers, files will always be available, even with a sudden increase in traffic to your site. Service from different servers prevents slowdowns and increases your audience.

  • How can I move my files to Cloage?

    You can transfer your files through the Cloage dashboard, remote upload and backup CLI. For the S3 partition, you can also upload your files to the Cloage cloud using the S3 partition client and prebuilt tools and softwares.

  • If I store my data in your cloud, will that affect my domain’s SEO efforts?

    Not at all! with Claoge’s cloud services, worries about the bandwidth consumed by the main host and responding to high traffic are eliminated. High loading speed and availability of site content improves your website’s SEO.

    Also, by setting the domain on the Cloage, your content will be indexed with your main domain in Google, which will definitely have a good effect on the domain ranking and attracting users to your website.

  • Can I publish URLs to my files with my own domain?

    Yes, it is possible to set your own domain on the professional partition and the S3 partition.

    To do this, create a Cname record for your domain or subdomain (Like cloud.yourdomain.com) on your DNS service and define its value as follows:

    cname.cloage.com for professional partitions

    cname.c3.cloage.com for S3 partition with the European location

    Then enter your desired subdomain in the partition settings section of the backup dashboard.

  • Why should I use Cloage’s cloud services instead of a file hosting service?

    The Cloage cloud space is implemented on an Hyper-Converged Infrastructure, which is an interconnected set of infinite servers in various data centers inside and outside Europe.

    Your files are stored by advanced algorithms on various servers and data centers, and there are always several copies of your files in the backup cloud infrastructure.
