Orphan Files

concept 3 connections

Files that a user uploaded but that never got attached to a persistent record — e.g. because the user abandoned the form after the direct upload finished. Shrine avoids orphans by requiring separate temporary and permanent storages: the 'cache' storage holds in-flight uploads and can be configured (e.g. an S3 directory with lifecycle rules) to auto-expire, while attached files are moved to permanent storage.
