Automatically back up your store’s files and assets to your own private cloud storage provider.

Installation Guide

1. Find the App

Search for “VaultStream” on the Shopify App Store or BigCommerce App Marketplace. VaultStream is the premier solution for syncing your store’s media and theme files—including Shopify Liquid and BigCommerce Stencil—to external storage. Install VaultStream Now →

2. Grant Permissions

Click “Add app” or “Install”. VaultStream requires permission to read your theme files, product media, and uploaded assets. These permissions are necessary to ensure a complete and accurate sync to your destination vault.

3. Connect Your Storage

Navigate to the Settings tab. VaultStream supports 19+ cloud providers. You will need your API credentials (like Access Keys or OAuth login) for your chosen provider:
  • Enterprise Cloud: Amazon S3, Google Cloud, Azure Blob, Cloudflare R2, Backblaze B2, Wasabi.
  • Consumer Drive: Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, MEGA, pCloud.
  • Direct Server: SFTP/FTP, WebDAV.

4. Initial Sync

Once connected, return to the Dashboard. Click “Start Manual Backup” to trigger your first full sync. VaultStream will begin transferring your theme assets and media directly to your account.

How to Use

Dashboard Overview

The dashboard provides real-time feedback on your store’s security status:
  • Backup Status — Confirms if your most recent sync was successful.
  • Storage Provider — Displays which external service is currently linked.
  • Total Assets — A count of files currently protected in your external vault.

Select Your Plan

VaultStream offers tiered plans based on your backup frequency and automation needs. Billing is managed natively through your chosen platform (Shopify Admin or BigCommerce Billing).

Automate Your Backups

For true “set and forget” protection, use the Schedules tab:
  1. Toggle Automated Backups to Active.
  2. Select your preferred frequency: Hourly, Daily, or Weekly.
  3. VaultStream automatically detects new product images or theme changes (Stencil/Liquid) and syncs them without manual intervention.

Monitor Activity

The Backup History section logs every run. You can see exactly what was backed up and when. If a backup fails (due to a storage provider being full or credentials error), the log provides a specific status message to help you troubleshoot.

Why VaultStream?

  • Your Files, Your Storage: We never store your data. Backups go directly from your platform to an account you own and control.
  • Works With What You Use: With support for 19 providers, you don’t need to sign up for new services; just use your existing cloud.
  • Complete Asset Coverage: We don’t just back up images; we sync your theme files, product videos, and all files in your “Content” or “Media” sections.
  • Disaster Recovery: If a theme update breaks your site or an app deletes your media, you have a 1:1 copy ready to be restored.
