Guides

Connect your own storage, step by step.

Your music and videos stay in storage you own — WildKite just helps you play and share them. Start with Cloudflare R2 for the easiest path, or Backblaze B2 for a bigger library.

How it works

  • Your files stay in your own storage — WildKite never holds your media.
  • We keep only the details needed to show and play your library.
  • Playback streams straight from your storage to your devices.

Set up your storage

Pick where your files live and connect it to WildKite. Most people start with R2 or B2 — the steps take about ten minutes.
