Does Storage Studio create the bucket for me?

\n

Short answer: No. Create the bucket in your provider's console first and enter its exact name. Storage Studio uses that bucket and never tries to create one, so a user limited to that single bucket is enough.

\n

No. Create the bucket first in your provider's own console, then enter its exact name in the Bucket field. Storage Studio uses the bucket you name and never tries to create one — so a user with access to just that bucket is enough.

\n

If transfers report that the bucket doesn't exist, check the spelling and that the region (or endpoint) matches where you created it.
