# Connecting Your Own Storage

> Use your own S3 or Dropbox account for backups.

If you'd rather store backups in your own cloud storage account, savemydb supports S3 (and S3-compatible providers) and Dropbox.

## Why bring your own storage

* Keep backups within your own existing cloud infrastructure and billing
* Use storage you already manage and monitor
* Meet specific compliance or data-residency requirements

## Setting it up

From the [Storage page](https://app.savemydb.com/config), click **Add Storage** and choose a provider:

  <Card title="S3 setup" icon="aws" href="/storage/s3-setup">
    AWS S3 or any S3-compatible provider, including MinIO.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Dropbox setup" icon="dropbox" href="/storage/dropbox-setup">
    Connect a Dropbox account using an access token.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Multiple storage destinations

You can configure more than one storage destination and choose which one each backup job uses. This is useful if you want different retention or redundancy strategies for different databases.
