The Bizcloud image storage service has three main elements:

• A general purpose image cropper that interacts with the parent  form and communicates with the upload service. The image cropper sends an image file with control information to the upload service on the Bizcloud host

• The Bizcloud host  upload service validates the request and if valid, the image file is sent to the storage server along with a security token. The response received from the storage server is the image location. This is registered as a managed resource in the workspace and the location is in turn sent back to the image cropper in the  browser.

• The Storage service matches the token received against the IP address of the Bizcloud host. If valid, the image file is stored with a unique and random name. The url/location of the file is passed back to the Bizcloud host.
