Vercel Blob now supports private storage for sensitive files, available in public beta across all plans.
- •Private storage requires authentication for all operations, preventing public URL exposure unlike public storage which allows open reads.
- •Create a private store via the Storage dashboard or CLI with: vercel blob create-store [name] --access private
- •When linked to a Vercel project, the CLI auto-adds the BLOB_READ_WRITE_TOKEN environment variable for SDK authentication.
- •Install the SDK with pnpm add @vercel/blob@2.3; use put or upload with access: 'private' to upload files.
- •Use the get method to stream private files for retrieval, with Content-Type headers set from blob metadata.
