description: Filebase via the S3-compatible API. Fronts decentralized storage networks (IPFS, Sia, Storj) chosen per-bucket in the dashboard, not per-request.

## Installation

`@aws-sdk/client-s3`, `@aws-sdk/s3-presigned-post`, and `@aws-sdk/s3-request-presigner` are optional peer dependencies of `files-sdk` - install alongside the SDK so the adapter's imports resolve at runtime.

```package-install
files-sdk @aws-sdk/client-s3 @aws-sdk/s3-presigned-post @aws-sdk/s3-request-presigner
```

## Usage

```ts lineNumbers
import { Files } from "files-sdk";
import { filebase } from "files-sdk/filebase";

const files = new Files({
  adapter: filebase({
    bucket: "uploads",
    // accessKeyId / secretAccessKey auto-loaded from
    // FILEBASE_ACCESS_KEY_ID / FILEBASE_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
  }),
});
```

Filebase via its S3-compatible API. Filebase fronts decentralized storage networks (IPFS, Sia, Storj) behind a standard S3 gateway - the network is chosen per-bucket in the dashboard, not per-request. A thin wrapper around the S3 adapter pointed at `https://s3.filebase.com`, with errors relabelled. Auto-loads from `FILEBASE_ACCESS_KEY_ID` and `FILEBASE_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`. Generate access keys in the Filebase console under Access Keys.

## Compatibility

| Method | Status | Notes |
| --- | :-: | --- |
| `upload` | ✅ |  |
| `download` | ✅ |  |
| `delete` | ✅ |  |
| `list` | ⚠️ | The S3 list API returns no per-object `Content-Type`, so `type` is inferred from the key's extension (`application/octet-stream` when unknown). Use `head()` for the stored value. |
| `search` | ✅ |  |
| `head` | ✅ |  |
| `exists` | ✅ |  |
| `copy` | ✅ |  |
| `url` | ✅ |  |
| `signedUploadUrl` | ✅ |  |
