CDNZero Playground
Playground — grid view of your files and folders with search, grid/list toggle, and quick actions

What is the Playground?

The Playground is a visual file manager for everything you've uploaded to CDNZero. Every file is automatically cached across 200+ edge locations the moment the upload completes.

Creating folders

Click New → New Folder in the top-right corner. Give it a name and choose visibility:

  • Public — files inside are accessible via a direct CDN URL with no authentication
  • Private — files inside require a signed URL to access

Folders can be nested — click into any folder and use New → New Folder again to create a sub-folder.

Uploading files

Click New → Upload File, then drag a file onto the drop zone or click to browse. CDNZero automatically splits large files into 5 MB chunks for reliable transfers — the progress bar reflects each chunk.

The Playground uses a background Web Worker for chunked uploads — the UI stays fully responsive even when uploading large video files.

File actions

Click the ⋯ menu on any file to:

  • Copy CDN URL — instant copy of the public delivery URL
  • Create Signed Link — generates a time-limited URL for private files
  • Download — fetches a download link and triggers a browser download
  • Rename / Update — change the name or toggle between Public and Private
  • Delete — permanently removes the file from storage and CDN cache

View modes

Toggle between Grid and List view with the icons in the top-right. Grid mode shows file type icons and metadata; List mode shows a table with filename, size, and timestamp — useful for large collections.

Search

Use the search bar at the top to filter files and folders by name within the current directory.

Uploading via API

Prefer code? Use the three-step chunked upload API:

1. Initiate
curl -X POST https://api.cdnzero.com/collections/upload/file \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_KEY" \
  -d '{"name":"photo.jpg","visibility":"Public","size":204800,"file_type":"image"}'
2. Upload a chunk
curl -X POST https://api.cdnzero.com/collections/upload/file-progress \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_KEY" \
  -d '{"body":"<base64>","bucket":"...","key":"...","uploadId":"...","fileId":"...","partNumber":1}'
3. Complete
curl -X POST https://api.cdnzero.com/collections/upload/complete-upload \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_KEY" \
  -d '{"file_id":"file_xyz"}'
