# What does the Provider choice in the Bucket Storage form do?

It fills in sensible defaults for that service: a starting region, an example of the endpoint address it uses, whether an endpoint is required, and the right setting for path-style URLs. You can still change any field.

Pick the entry that matches your service. If it isn't listed, choose **Other (custom endpoint)** and enter the details from your provider's dashboard. Amazon is the only preset that needs no endpoint.
