BucketAnywhere S3

BucketAnywhere S3 is a simple app that lets you connect to and manage files stored in online storage buckets from many different cloud providers. It works like a universal remote control for all your cloud folders, so you can upload, download, and organize your photos, documents, and backups without switching between different websites. It uses S3-compatible object storage as its foundation, which means it can talk to the same reliable storage systems using one standard method. This approach gives you the freedom to pick the cheapest or fastest storage provider while still using the same familiar tool every day. By relying on S3 storage, the app delivers rock-solid security, automatic backups, and the ability to grow from a few files to millions without ever changing how you work.

Connection / Setup

  1. Create an account and log in to DiskSpace
  2. Click I'm ready to set up my storage
  3. Enter Bucket Name following the instructions
  4. Click Create Bucket and wait for it to be generated
  5. Find your Endpoint URL, Access Key, and Secret Key in the S3 Client Configuration section for use below

Connecting DiskSpace.sh to BucketAnywhere S3

DiskSpace.sh is a fully S3-compatible object storage service. Follow the steps below to configure BucketAnywhere S3 to connect using path-style requests.

Connection Steps
  1. Open BucketAnywhere S3 and navigate to the connection settings.
  2. Select Custom S3 Provider or Manual Configuration.
  3. Enter the following credentials and settings:
Region: Leave empty or set to us-east-1
Important: Path-Style Requests

BucketAnywhere S3 must be configured to use Path Style requests (not virtual-hosted style). This is required for DiskSpace.sh compatibility.

Example Endpoint Format:
https://s3.diskspace.sh/bucket-name/key
Example Configuration
Endpoint URL: https://s3.diskspace.sh
Access Key: AKIAXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Secret Key: ****************************************
Region: us-east-1 (or leave blank)
Path Style: Enabled
Signature Version: v4
Troubleshooting
  • Ensure Path Style is explicitly enabled in BucketAnywhere S3 settings.
  • Verify your Access Key and Secret Key are correct and have sufficient permissions.
  • If connection fails, try setting Region to us-east-1.
  • Check that your firewall or network allows outbound HTTPS traffic to s3.diskspace.sh.
