# Supported storage backends

Wildland is not dependent on any particular type of infrastructure, and our end goal is to make it backend-agnostic. At the moment, however, we suggest using the following backends for which there are convinient storage templates and HOWTOs available.

STORAGE HOWTO
Dropbox HOWTO
Google Drive HOWTO
Amazon S3 HOWTO
WebDAV HOWTO

To support different types of storage-access protocols Wildland client implements a pluggable architecture. The list of currently supported plugins can be obtained using the wl template create command.
