If your task requires images, audio, or video files, you can upload them:
Directly from your device. Use this way if there is only a single URL type input field in the specification.
To photo hosting. Use it if you need less than 10 images (for example, for task instructions or for testing a pool).
To cloud storage. Use it if you need to add more then 10 images, audio, or video files.
Some photo hosting services are free and don't require registration. This way you can quickly and easily upload your files and get links to them. But they have limitations. We recommend that you read the terms of use before using photo hosting services.
The information about the terms is provided here for informational purposes.
The terms may be changed by the service unilaterally. You can view changes on the photo hosting website.
Toloka is not responsible for such changes or for placing them in this section within a certain timeframe.

In Object Storage terms, files and folders are objects. All objects are stored in buckets. A bucket is a logical entity that helps organize object storage.
Cloud storage enables users to store large amounts of data. You need to pay to use it. To try out a service, use a free trial.

To use a file in the task interface, you should have a field of URL type in your project's input data. You'll need the name of this field later when creating a file.
In the file with the tasks, paste the links into the column that matches the input data field to which this data is passed.
For example, if you want to use images in the image field, specify the file links in the INPUT:image column:
INPUT:imagehttps://mybucket.s3.eu-north-1.amazonaws.com/newfolder/image1.pnghttps://mybucket.s3.eu-north-1.amazonaws.com/newfolder/image2.pngLast updated:Â February 28, 2023
