Cluster Storage Image Upload
The Storage page allows Cluster Administrators to enable access to removable USB storage devices connected to the Corellium Controller.
When this feature is enabled, users can browse files stored on attached USB media directly from supported device-creation workflows without uploading the files from their local workstation.
Removable USB media is mounted as read-only. Corellium does not modify or write data to attached storage devices.
Enable Removable USB Storage Access
- Sign in as a Cluster Administrator.
- Open Cluster Admin.
- Select the Storage tab.
- Enable Allow read-only access to removable USB media.
The setting is enabled by default.
When enabled, users can select files from removable USB media connected to the cluster.
No USB Media Connected
When removable USB access is enabled but no supported USB media is connected, the page displays: Add removable media
Added removable media will appear in a table once connected to your cluster.
