SetDefaultStorageLocation - Intelligent Media Services - Alibaba Cloud Documentation Center

Set the default storage path for temporary files. The default storage address is used by the ICE online editor and the integrated web SDK to store temporary files generated during video editing, such as audio files generated by Intelligent configurations. Setting a default storage address avoids inconveniencing users who would otherwise need to specify storage paths for various temporary resources during editing. If you integrate ICE editing capabilities through an API, you can flexibly specify the path in the API request, and this default path will not take effect.

Operation description

Intelligent Media Services supports storage in either Object Storage Service or ApsaraVideo VOD. Activate the corresponding service based on your required storage type. The differences between the two are as follows:
ApsaraVideo VOD storage: ApsaraVideo VOD provides an all-in-one audio and video solution, including video storage, media asset management, and CDN-based playback. When storing media assets in ApsaraVideo VOD, Intelligent Media Services enhances VOD capabilities, enabling rapid development and publishing of video applications using VOD-provided APIs.
Object Storage: Object Storage Service (OSS) is Alibaba Cloud’s secure, low-cost, highly durable, and scalable cloud storage service. You can leverage the combined capabilities of Intelligent Media Services and OSS to develop audio and video applications for diverse scenarios.
You can also configure the storage address in the console. For details, see Configure Storage Address.
Storage fees are billed through OSS or ApsaraVideo VOD based on your configured storage address. For details, see Media Asset Storage Billing.

RAM authorization

The table below describes the authorization required to call this API. You can define it in a Resource Access Management (RAM) policy. The table's columns are detailed below:

Action: The actions can be used in the Action element of RAM permission policy statements to grant permissions to perform the operation.
API: The API that you can call to perform the action.
Access level: The predefined level of access granted for each API. Valid values: create, list, get, update, and delete.
Resource type: The type of the resource that supports authorization to perform the action. It indicates if the action supports resource-level permission. The specified resource must be compatible with the action. Otherwise, the policy will be ineffective.
- For APIs with resource-level permissions, required resource types are marked with an asterisk (*). Specify the corresponding Alibaba Cloud Resource Name (ARN) in the Resource element of the policy.
- For APIs without resource-level permissions, it is shown as All Resources. Use an asterisk (*) in the Resource element of the policy.
Condition key: The condition keys defined by the service. The key allows for granular control, applying to either actions alone or actions associated with specific resources. In addition to service-specific condition keys, Alibaba Cloud provides a set of common condition keys applicable across all RAM-supported services.
Dependent action: The dependent actions required to run the action. To complete the action, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform all dependent actions.

Request parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description	Example
StorageType	string	No	Storage type: vod_oss_bucket: VOD-managed bucket. Supports adding buckets managed by the VOD system or OSS buckets added within the VOD system. If no active buckets are available, you can add a new bucket in the ApsaraVideo VOD console. After activating ApsaraVideo VOD, the system assigns a storage address in each storage region. You must enable this address before use. For details, see Manage Storage Buckets. user_oss_bucket: User private bucket. Before adding an Object Storage address, you must activate Object Storage Service (OSS) and create a bucket. For details, see Create a Bucket in the Console. Valid values: user_oss_bucket : vod_oss_bucket :	user_oss_bucket
Bucket	string	No	The name of the OSS bucket you created.	oss-test-bucket
Path	string	No	When storageType is set to user_oss_bucket, temporary files are stored under this path. If path is empty or set to /, files are stored in the root directory. This field does not take effect for VOD storage.	ims/dir
