title: Storage Examples
---
This page describes storage examples using the [StorageManager](../../references/sdk/storage.md)
class. The storage examples include:
* [Downloading a file](#downloading-a-file) - Get an object from storage.
* [Uploading a file](#uploading-a-file) - Upload an object.
* [Setting cache limits](#setting-cache-limits) - Set the maximum number of objects.
:::note
`StorageManager` supports http(s), S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure, and file system folders.

## StorageManager
### Downloading a File
To download a ZIP file from storage to the `global` cache context, call the [StorageManager.get_local_copy](../../references/sdk/storage.md#storagemanagerget_local_copy)
method, and specify the destination location as the `remote_url` argument:
# create a StorageManager instance
manager = StorageManager()
manager.get_local_copy(remote_url="s3://MyBucket/MyFolder/file.zip")
:::note
Zip and tar.gz files will be automatically extracted to cache. This can be controlled with the`extract_archive` flag.
:::
To download a file to a specific context in cache, specify the name of the context as the `cache_context` argument:
manager.get_local_copy(remote_url="s3://MyBucket/MyFolder/file.ext", cache_context="test")
To download a non-compressed file, set the `extract_archive` argument to `False`.
manager.get_local_copy(remote_url="s3://MyBucket/MyFolder/file.ext", extract_archive=False)
### Uploading a File
To upload a file to storage, call the [StorageManager.upload_file](../../references/sdk/storage.md#storagemanagerupload_file)
method. Specify the full path of the local file as the `local_file` argument, and the remote URL as the `remote_url`
argument.
manager.upload_file(local_file="/mnt/data/also_file.ext", remote_url="s3://MyBucket/MyFolder")
### Setting Cache Limits
To set a limit on the number of files cached, call the [StorageManager.set_cache_file_limit](../../references/sdk/storage.md#storagemanagerset_cache_file_limit)
method and specify the `cache_file_limit` argument as the maximum number of files. This does not limit the cache size,
only the number of files.
new_cache_limit = manager.set_cache_file_limit(cache_file_limit=100)
