File Module Providers

What is a File Module Provider?#

The File Module exposes the functionalities to upload assets, such as product images, to the Medusa application. A file module provider implements the underlying logic of handling uploads and downloads of assets, such as integrating third-party services. The File Module must have one file module provider configured.

By default, Medusa uses the Local File Module. This module uploads files to the uploads directory of your Medusa application.

This is useful for development. However, for production, it’s highly recommended to use other File Modules, such as the S3 Module.
