# How do I type a cloud account path in Data Parking?

Type the account's nickname, a colon, then the folder path — for example `work-drive:Reports/2026` or `client-s3:backups`. Paths in that form open the named account in that pane.

Use the nickname exactly as it appears in your account list. Bucket storage paths start inside the bucket you set for the account.
