Cloud file storage with file tagging and search by tags/filename

Question

My project needs to meet next requirements.

• store large amount of files for reasonable price
• tag individual files with custom tags
• have API method to search files by name (contains) and tags (exact)
• do it all via JS SDK (keep project serverless)

I made some work with Amazon S3 and turned out

• no search method in JS SDK http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/latest/AWS/S3.html#listObjectsV2-property

• listObjects accepts param Key Prefix (i.e. filename starts with), so there is no way to find by contains

• no param to search by tag at all, i can only get it for individual file with getObjectTagging

So question is - what stable service can i use for file storage WITH functionality described above

Azure? Google Cloud? Backblaze B2? something else?

thanks!

If you use Azure blob storage, you can use Azure Search blob indexer to index both the metadata and textual content of your blobs. For a walkthrough of setting this up, see Build and query your first Azure Search index in the portal.
