# Own HTTP-based Storage

Scaleflex DMO can download images from any web server over HTTP/HTTPS. Add your image storage servers and optionally set authentication credentials in case your server require authentication.

If your images are stored at URL **<https://mystorage.example.com>** and you can access **image.jpg** with the following URL:

//**mystorage.example.com**/**image.jpg**

You should enter the data as per the following screenshot:

<figure><img src="/files/YBsFZ6ypXuCHF84Tcevo" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

All aliases have to be prefixed and suffixed by underscores. Please note that all aliases have to be unique for your account.

Your storage is now accessible by using the alias entered in the **Alias** field.\
//your-token.cloudimg.io/**\_ownstorage\_**/**image.jpg**

If your storage requires authentication, you can enter your username and password.
