# LoopBack Storage Component

**NOTE: The loopback-component-storage module supersedes [loopback-storage-service](https://www.npmjs.org/package/loopback-storage-service). Please update your package.json accordingly.**

LoopBack storage component provides Node.js and REST APIs to manage binary contents
using pluggable storage providers, such as local file systems, Amazon S3, or
Rackspace cloud files. We use [pkgcloud](https://github.com/pkgcloud/pkgcloud) to support the cloud based
storage services including:

- Amazon
- Rackspace
- Openstack
- Azure

> Please see the [Storage Service Documentaion](http://loopback.io/doc/en/lb2/Storage-component.html).

For more details on the architecture of the module, please see the introduction section of the [blog post](https://strongloop.com/strongblog/managing-nodejs-loopback-storage-service-provider/) written up its launch.
