Your object storage service gives you an S3-compatible storage bucket — a private space for files that you can use from the client area or from any S3-compatible tool (rclone, Cyberduck, s3cmd, the AWS CLI, backup software, and so on).

What you get

• A bucket created for you on the storage server, with the quota included in your plan.
• A storage username and access keys (an access key ID + secret key pair) for S3 API access.
• A web File Manager so you can use the bucket without installing anything.

Where to find it

1. Log in to the client area.
2. Go to Services, find your storage service, and click Manage.
3. The service page shows four tabs:

• Usage — how much bandwidth and disk you are using, and your quota.
• Access Keys — create and manage S3 credentials.
• Bucket Options — tags, public/private visibility, versioning and lifecycle rules.
• File Manager — upload, browse, download, share and delete files.

Connecting with an S3 client

You need three things, all visible in your service tabs:

• Endpoint / host: shown under Bucket Options ("Server Host").
• Region: shown under Bucket Options ("Server Region").
• Credentials: an access key ID and secret key from the Access Keys tab.

Most tools also need path-style addressing enabled (the bucket name goes in the URL path, not the hostname). Your bucket name is shown on the Bucket Options tab.

If any tab reports that no storage bucket is provisioned, contact your provider's support before continuing.
