Where to store static?

Question

CDN

Good day.
The question is theoretical, from the "consult" series.
The project I am currently working on has not bad growth trends. If initially it was a single resource - frontent + single node - backend, then at the moment this zoo is growing rapidly. Not so much at a cosmic pace, but still. And here is one of the pressing problems - this is "where to store static" in the form of pictures, media files and other rubbish. If initially the fronts steered all the static, storing it at home, now the backend must also be able to interact with it (for example, it downloads files from the network, and must give a link to them via the API, but the files themselves must be stored on our own capacities , but be accessible from the outside).
In short, I see some service that can api out of the box, and to which we can give a link to a media file as input, it will download it itself, and give a json response with links to it. Plus, you need some kind of dashboard to monitor what and how is happening there. Plus, this animal should be able to scale by nodes, without a rigid reference to geography (that would be generally chic).
Tell me - what can I use for this? Have a positive experience?

The cheapest option is to take your own physical server from OVH or Hetzner.
But it's only cheap if you use all its power.
Another option, as you rightly said - through API access - is all kinds of Cloud Storage. For the Russian Federation, I pay attention to Clodo.ru, a Cloud Storage service.

You can raise it yourself through specialized software.
