How are assets stored in AEM Assets on cloud?

As per my understanding, once we upload assets to AEM Assets on Cloud, they will be stored in Binary Cloud Storage, and only references will be stored in AEM Author. The Asset Micro service is used to process the asset for rendition, metadata extraction, etc. What I am trying to understand is, I do not see any references to Binary Cloud Storage in asset properties.

Is there a property or metadata that indicates where Binary Cloud Storage is located? Is it possible to see where the actual file is stored in Binary Cloud Storage? Please clarify.

AEM just maintains the pointers to binary storage for the Assets uploaded, Please refer the below screenshot from the documentation.

      Hi @mario248 ,

      Binary data format is a low level thing usually taken care by the product. However, you can find it in the metadata property. The binary data stored in the jcr:data property.

       

       

      Hope that helps!

      Regards,

        Is the original file actually stored in AEM cloud? My understanding is that the actual original file is stored in Binary Cloud Storage, which is not part of AEM cloud? Is my understanding incorrect?
