Author: AI Research Unit Version: 1.0 Date: 2026-04-14 Abstract The CS3 (Content Storage as a Service) specification defines a rich API for file synchronization, sharing, and collaboration. However, many implementers and integrators find the full stack complex for edge cases: embedded systems, lightweight microservices, or high-throughput pipelines. This paper presents CS3 Raw — a minimal subset of CS3 focusing on raw binary operations (stat, read, write, delete, list) over HTTP. We provide a practical specification, reference implementation patterns, and benchmarks showing near-filesystem latency with cloud scalability. 1. Introduction CS3 (often associated with projects like Reva, CERNBox, and ownCloud Infinite Scale) defines a gRPC-based API for managing content across heterogeneous storage systems. The full CS3 API includes sharing, public links, metadata dictionaries, versioning, workflows, and garbage collection. The full CS3 API includes sharing, public links,
