## 🌩️ Introduction to BYOC (Bring Your Own Cloud)
9+
10+
OpenSign supports **BYOC (Bring Your Own Cloud)** — allowing you to **store your documents in your own cloud storage** instead of OpenSign’s default storage.
11+
12+
With BYOC, organizations and users gain **greater control, privacy, and compliance flexibility** by connecting their preferred cloud providers such as **AWS S3** or **DigitalOcean Spaces**.
13+
14+
> 🧠 **Why BYOC?**
15+
> - Maintain complete ownership and control of your documents.
16+
> - Comply with internal, regional, or client-specific data policies.
17+
> - Choose your preferred cloud region or provider for better performance and compliance.
