FILE0 uses Cloudflare R2, and a thin layer of custom logic on top of that in form of CF workers.

The reasons for using R2 instead of S3: - Pricing: S3 charges for everything you do. R2 is only for requests and storage. This enables FILE0 to only charge for storage-tiers which is much more understandable pricing model.

- Workers: Good fit for large-scale file-streaming. And the two works great together.
