Storage destinations

Footage always lands on the hub first, then goes to every destination you add. Add as many as you like: every clip goes to all of them, through a retry queue that survives restarts and outages.

The options

Destination	Good for	Setup
Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive	Using storage you already pay for	One-tap sign-in. Details
S3-compatible: AWS S3, Backblaze B2, Cloudflare R2, Wasabi, MinIO	Lots of cameras, 24/7 recording, low cost per TB	Bucket, endpoint and keys. Details
WebDAV: Nextcloud, Synology, ownCloud	Your own cloud at home or hosted	Address, username, password
Folder, NAS share or USB drive	Fast local copies with no monthly cost	Any path mounted on the hub
rclone	Any of rclone’s 100+ providers	Run rclone config on the hub, then enter remote:path

How to choose

• A few cameras in Events mode: your existing Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive is plenty.
• 24/7 recording or many cameras: use S3-compatible storage like Backblaze B2 or Cloudflare R2, or a NAS. Consumer drives have daily upload limits (Google Drive allows 750 GB a day per user) and free tiers fill fast.
• Belt and braces: add a local NAS or USB drive and a cloud destination. If the internet goes down, the local copy keeps going; if someone takes the hub, the cloud copy is safe.

Encrypted by default

Uploads are end-to-end encrypted: each file is sealed with AES-256-GCM on the hub before it leaves your home, so your provider stores only ciphertext. See Encryption and your recovery key.

Keeping it tidy

Retention runs automatically and every destination can have its own size limit, so Unicam never fills your Drive. See Retention and disk space.

Sharing a clip

From an event, Share link creates a link from your own cloud: Google Drive (anyone with the link), Dropbox or OneDrive (expiring where your plan allows), or an S3 pre-signed link valid for up to 7 days. It works for destinations without encryption, because encrypted clips can only be opened with your key. For police or insurance, a signed export pack is often better.
