• Immutable original uploads
• Derived file workflow for processing and edits
• Searchable file library
• Bulk upload and bulk export support
• Audit logging
• Owner-approved admin support access using one-time token workflow

Planned host and path

• Host: vault3

Planned backend stack

• Background job processing for media conversions
• FFmpeg for video/audio processing
• Nginx reverse proxy

Security goals

• Portal-authenticated access only

• Encrypted storage at rest
• HTTPS/TLS in transit
• Immutable originals by default

Device model

Each tenant may define logical upload devices such as:
