FAQ
How do I get started with S3?
Sign up and create a new bucket here.
Can I connect to an existing S3 storage bucket with existing content?
Yes. Please note that you will need to use the simple '/' delimited directory storage option to connect.
What is the Enhanced odrive FS directory structure?
If you don't have an existing storage bucket to link to yet, we highly recommend using the Enhanced odrive FS directory structure option to connect
to your bucket (anyone else connecting to this S3 bucket in the future should use the same option).
You will notice improved performance, particularly on file move and rename operations. Always use odrive to access your Enhanced odrive FS bucket--your files will still technically be accessible using non-odrive applications, but the file and folder names will be encoded in such a way that it will be more difficult to browse around.
If you have an existing S3 bucket with preexisting data in it (or if you plan on accessing the bucket from applications other than odrive), use the Simple '/' Delimited directory structure instead.
What is the Simple '/' Delimited directory structure?
You will notice improved performance, particularly on file move and rename operations. Always use odrive to access your Enhanced odrive FS bucket--your files will still technically be accessible using non-odrive applications, but the file and folder names will be encoded in such a way that it will be more difficult to browse around.

Information is stored into the storage bucket in the same way that Amazon S3 normally stores its information. By using a '/' character in the
file's key, a directory structure can be simulated. That way, when you browse the bucket using the Amazon Web Services console or with a third-party app
such as the S3 Browser, you see a file folder structure.
Unless you need to use the Simple '/' Delimited directory structure, we recommend using the Enhanced odrive FS directory structure option whenever possible for best results.
How much does storage on Amazon S3 cost?
Unless you need to use the Simple '/' Delimited directory structure, we recommend using the Enhanced odrive FS directory structure option whenever possible for best results.
Amazon S3 allows you to pay-as-you-go so you only pay for what you use. See their pricing schedule.
Is there a file size limit?
Amazon's limit for an upload to S3 is 5 GB for a single request.
What regions are available through S3? Can I keep my buckets outside of the US for compliance purposes?
Yes, see the list of regions. You can keep your data in a different region for data sovereignty, compliance, latency, or other considerations.
