Partner co-branding
Co-branding shows your logo, a card that opens your website, and your support contact to the customers you bring to Storage Studio. You edit it and preview it on the Branding page, we approve it, and you decide when it goes live — with your own on/off switch.
Co-branding lets the customers you bring see that you're with them: your logo next to ours, a card that opens your website, and your support contact beside ours. You prepare it on the Branding page of the partner portal, we check and approve it, and you choose when it goes live. Your own on/off switch is at the top of the page.

The five steps
The steps are shown across the top of the page, with the one you're on highlighted:
- Edit — your logo, colour, card and support details.
- Preview — see it in light and dark, updating as you type and as you drop in logos.
- Submit for approval — we check it's yours and accurate.
- Approved — usually within a working day. If we can't approve it, the reason is shown on the page and in Versions.
- Publish — you choose when it goes live. Publishing a new version replaces the one your customers see; until then, the old one stays live.
What you fill in
| Section | What it needs |
|---|---|
| Logos | A square PNG logo is required (512×512 is ideal). A dark-mode square logo and a wide logo for the Home card (1024×256 is ideal) are optional. Files are checked as you drop them: PNG only, within the size limit shown, no animation. |
| Name and colour | Your display name and your brand colour. A note warns you if text on your colour would be hard to read. |
| Home screen card | Choose a style. Standard card: your logo, a short line and a button label, for example Visit. One full image: your own picture fills the whole card edge to edge (PNG, JPEG or animated GIF, always shown at 8:5 — other shapes are centre-cropped for you, except GIFs), with an optional second picture shown when the customer points at it. The card's ⋯ menu sits on its top-right corner, and clicking the picture opens your link. |
| Your website, inside the app | A secure link that opens inside Storage Studio, plus up to three other websites that link may open, such as your booking site. |
| Support contact | The email address customers can reach you on, and optionally a phone number, a support page and your hours. It's shown next to ours. |
Save draft keeps your work. Submit for approval becomes available once you have a square logo and a link.
Where your customers see it
The live preview shows each place: the opening screen, a card on the Home screen that opens your website, your support details in Help, and your website opened inside the app — all in light and dark.
- In our emails. Once your branding is live, our account and billing emails to your customers carry a short Your partner line with your name and support contact.
- In the Mac app. Showing your branding inside Storage Studio needs a version of the app that supports it. Until your customers have one, the preview is how it will look; nothing changes for them in the app.
Branding is shown to customers who installed Storage Studio through your link — for a set period after they install, and for good once they buy — and to customers whose account is with you.
The on/off switch
- Your switch is yours: turn it off at any time and your customers stop seeing your branding at their next refresh, within a day. Turn it on when you're ready — only what we've approved and you've published is ever shown.
- We can switch it off for your account if we need to, with a note saying why. The switch is then locked until we lift it. We never switch it on for you and never publish for you.
