Retool Storage is a hosted blob store that allows you to upload and interact with your files without needing to configure an object store (e.g., S3, Azure File Storage). There is a 5 GB storage limit per organization, with a 250 MB limit on file size. Your browser may have settings that restrict this limit further.

Working with files has previously been a challenge for users as it required storing base64 strings or using third-party data stores. Retool Storage is a built-in solution that requires no configuration.

There are two ways to interact with Retool Storage:

• The Retool Storage section in the Resources tab for your organization.
• The Retool Storage resource, available in both apps and workflows.

You can programmatically upload, read, and download from Retool Storage.

When you configure a resource on Retool Cloud, you can now choose to route traffic through the eu-central-1 region, based in Frankfurt, Germany, or through the default us-west-2 region, based in Oregon, US. This determines the network round trip time it takes Retool to query your data sources. Selecting a region in close proximity to your resources can improve your application's performance.

You can set a default region for all your resources and override it for individual resources. Learn how to set resource regions in our documentation.

Using the built-in Mobile Push Notifications resource, you can write queries that send push notifications to specific users from any Retool web app, Retool Mobile app, or Retool Workflow via webhook. Contact us to get started or read our push notification docs to learn more.

We’ve added the ability to work with resources and apps that have multiple environments in Retool Mobile using our new environment switcher

Offline mode in Retool Mobile enables users to continue performing read and write actions whenever the internet connection is lost.

Reads: Screens and parts of the app that users have visited while online are cached and available when the device is offline.

Writes: Users can continue performing write actions with cached data. Once the connection is restored, Retool Mobile syncs the changes back to the server.
