Other S3-compatible storage

Find the three facts SimDrive needs

Every S3-compatible service is set up the same way; only the menu names differ. The provider's documentation for "S3 clients", "rclone" or "s3cmd" has all of them on one page.

1. The endpoint: a hostname such as s3.example.com or https://s3.eu-central-1.example. If the documentation shows it with your bucket name in front, drop the bucket part — SimDrive adds it.
2. The region: whatever the documentation says, or us-east-1 when it says nothing. The protocol insists on one even where it means nothing.
3. Whether requests are path-style: if the documentation shows the bucket in the URL path (endpoint/bucket/file) rather than the hostname (bucket.endpoint/file), turn path-style on.

Create a bucket and a key

1. In the provider's console, create a bucket and note its region.
2. Create an access key — usually under Access Keys, API keys, or Credentials — with read and write access to that bucket.
3. Copy the key id and the secret when they are shown; the secret usually cannot be retrieved again.

Enter it in SimDrive

1. Settings → Storage → Connect storage → Other S3-compatible.
2. Endpoint, Region, and the Path-style checkbox from the facts above.
3. Access key ID and Secret access key: the pair you copied.
4. Click Connect. If the service refuses the check, use Edit keys to correct and try again; the connection is kept between attempts.
