Register Amazon S3 Account

To register your Amazon S3 storage account with CloudBerry Drive, you must know your AWS Access and Secret keys.

Where Can I Get The Access Keys?

Since April 21, 2014 AWS changes the policy on the use of keys: the secret key retrieving is no longer possible.

1. Open the IAM console.
2. From the navigation menu, click Users.
3. Select your IAM user name.
4. Click User Actions, and then click Manage Access Keys.
5. Click Create Access Key.
6. Your keys will look something like this:
   • Access key ID example: AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE
   • Secret access key example: wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY
7. Click Download Credentials, and store the keys in a secure location.
