Key Concepts

At a high level, CloudSoda accounts allow users to transfer files from one storage to another. File transfers occur by running file transfer jobs. Jobs can be one time transfers, but users also have the ability to schedule future jobs by creating recurring job templates called policies.

Accounts are top-level entities under which all resources are grouped. As a result, various resources, such as jobs, groups, and users, have an accountId property. This id uniquely identifies the account to which a resource belongs.

Jobs describe the instructions to copy or move files. Storages act as sources and targets for file transfer jobs. Users are provided credentials to sign in and interact with the system via the WebUI.
