Installation Guide

​

1. Find the App

Search for “VaultStream” on the Shopify App Store. VaultStream is the premier solution for syncing your store’s media and theme files to external storage. Install VaultStream from Shopify →

​

2. Grant Permissions

Click “Add app”. 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. Click “Install app” to finalize.

​

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:

• Cloud Storage: Amazon S3, Google Cloud, Azure Blob, Cloudflare R2, Backblaze B2, Wasabi.
• Consumer Drive: Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, MEGA, pCloud.
• Server Access: 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 files and media assets 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

Billing is managed directly through Shopify. Choose the tier that best fits your backup frequency needs:

​

Automate Your Backups (Pro)

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 will automatically detect new product images or theme changes and sync 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 a credentials error), the log will provide a specific status message to help you troubleshoot.

Why VaultStream?

• Your Files, Your Storage: We never store your data. Backups go directly from Shopify 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 Shopify “Content” section.
• 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.
