If I disable the Data API (PostgREST) do I still get to use Supabase Storage?

Hey folks,

I want to disable the Data API but am concerned that I won't be able to use Supabase storage.

Context:

I am using
```
drizzle-orm
```
drizzle-orm
```
drizzle-orm
```
drizzle-orm
for all db related stuff
I am using
```
better-auth
```
better-auth
```
better-auth
```
better-auth
for the auth
I want to keep using Supabase storage via the
```
@supabase/supabase-js
```
@supabase/supabase-js
```
@supabase/supabase-js
```
@supabase/supabase-js
client

Is this possible?

Thanks for letting me know!

Hi! I don’t have the answer, but maybe you could check supabase-js source code to see how does it connect to the database? Or maybe just do a quick test, disable the Data API and try doing a request with supabase-js and see if it works?

Yes, just turn it off and see. I think it is only for data, but have never tried and docs don't say specifically that I recall (without going to look them up).
