# How do I use my own cloud storage with Delta Drive?

Open **Delta Drive → Storage → Connect storage you own…** and point it at a compatible storage bucket you already pay for. You give it the bucket, its region and a pair of access keys.

Before saving anything, Storage Studio writes a small test file and deletes it again, so if your storage refuses, the refusal is real and the app repeats what your provider said. Once connected, the heading changes to **My Drive** and everything else works exactly as in Delta Drive.

See [what it touches in your bucket](https://storagestudio.us/faq/delta-drive/will-my-drive-touch-other-files-in-my-bucket) and [what's different on your own storage](https://storagestudio.us/faq/delta-drive/is-my-drive-as-safe-as-delta-trust-for-backups).
