If you're managing ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise, you've probably noticed a common problem: attachments pile up fast and consume credits.

If you're managing ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise, you've probably noticed a common problem: attachments pile up fast and consume credits. Qonda Vault solves this by exporting attachments from ArcGIS and replacing them with much smaller thumbnails, while providing secure access to full-resolution files through external cloud storage.

The Problem It Solves

While ArcGIS Pro and other tools can export attachments, they leave you with scattered files on disk with no easy way to share them across your organization. Qonda Vault goes further; it not only reduces storage consumption in your ArcGIS system but also provides a secure, scalable way to access original-size attachments even outside of ArcGIS.

Flexible Storage Options

You can store attachments in Amazon S3, Azure Blob, Microsoft SharePoint, Google Cloud Storage, network file shares, or any combination of supported storage providers. This gives you freedom to choose where your data lives and lets you mix storage options as your needs scale.

Smart Features

  1. Seamless Image Handling: The thumbnail replacements are virtually indistinguishable from the originals, and you can configure output size to match your needs. Full-resolution attachments remain accessible through Qonda Vault's viewer.
  2. Web Viewers: The gallery viewer displays all attachments from a feature service with endless scrolling and lazy loading, supporting images, PDFs, and videos. The feature viewer shows attachments linked to specific features and can be controlled via query strings for direct linking from ArcGIS applications.
  3. Security & Permissions: Qonda Vault can optionally use OAuth from your ArcGIS Enterprise or ArcGIS Online, ensuring only authorized users with access to the source feature service can view attachments. No extra permission management needed.
  4. Admin Interface: A web application lets you create and manage connections to your ArcGIS systems, then automatically process attachments from your feature services.

Real Value

Beyond the technical convenience, Qonda Vault delivers concrete benefits: reduced ArcGIS Online credit usage, cost savings, and keeping attachments under your organization's control instead of locked in your GIS platform.

If you're looking to reclaim storage space, cut costs, and share attachments across your organization with ease, Qonda Vault is worth exploring.
