## What it is
Files SDK is a unified TypeScript storage SDK that provides one small API (ten methods) across 40+ object and blob storage providers including S3, R2, GCS, Azure, Vercel Blob, and Supabase. It ships with an agent-friendly CLI, a built-in MCP server, and Vercel AI SDK tools for letting AI agents browse and mutate buckets.

## Use cases
- upload files to s3 without learning the aws sdk
- switch storage providers without rewriting call sites
- support multiple blob storage backends with one api
- generate presigned upload urls for direct browser uploads
- let an ai agent list and manage files in a bucket
- mirror or sync objects between two storage backends
- search large buckets with glob patterns
- script storage operations from the command line with  output

## When to choose
- you want provider-agnostic object storage code that works across S3, R2, GCS, Azure, Vercel Blob, and S3-compatible services
- you need normalized errors and one call shape instead of per-provider SDK quirks
- you are building AI agents that need file storage tools with approval gating
- you want a CLI or MCP server for storage operations

## When to avoid
- you need deep provider-specific features like S3 versioning, lifecycle rules, or multipart as first-class API (only available via the raw escape hatch)
- you only ever target a single provider and prefer its official SDK
- you need block or file-system storage rather than object/blob storage
