# Object Storage

## Introduction

Flow Object Storage is an [S3-compatible](object-storage/ressources/supported-amazon-s3-features) object storage service that lets you store and serve large amounts of data. You can create them in a few seconds and use them immediately with no configuration. Data transfer is automatically secured with HTTPS, and the available storage capacity scales seamlessly.

Object Storage is ideal for storing static, unstructured data like audio, video, and images as well as large amounts of text. Use cases like databases, applications written in server-side languages, and mission-critical applications will work best with local storage (volumes).
