A method for providing a proxy redirect to facilitate a storage and a retrieval of an object is disclosed. The method includes receiving a mapping of a user to a logical container that stores the object and to a storage provider that stores the logical container; receiving a key corresponding to the logical container and associated with the user; storing the mapping and the key in a database; generating, for the user, an application protocol that redirects to a pre-signed web address based on the stored mapping and the stored key; and transmitting, via a communication interface, the application protocol to the one user. The method further includes the user using the application protocol to directly access the storage provider and retrieve the object.
