How do I connect an S3-compatible service other than Amazon?

\n

Short answer: Choose Bucket Storage, pick your provider or Other (custom endpoint), and enter the access key, secret, region, bucket and the Endpoint URL from your provider's dashboard. Then save and click Test connection.

\n

Choose Bucket Storage in Add Account, then pick your provider from the list — or Other (custom endpoint) if it isn't listed. Enter the access key, secret, region, bucket and the Endpoint URL from your provider's dashboard, then save and test.

\n

Each preset fills in sensible defaults. The endpoint is required for every provider except Amazon, and its exact form (often including a region or account ID) comes from your provider. If your service is self-hosted or unusual, see path-style URLs.
