It's primarily designed to be called by other workflows, as there wasn't a default node for this yet, and this could be usefull in quite a lot of other workflows. \n\nIn this particular example we use mime-type to sort files to specific buckets, but this is of course dependent on your specific storage structure. \n\nThe output is a signed url for the object, to avoid having to share secrets for entire buckets to applications that need the object as input"
