ObjectiveFS
ObjectiveFS is a simple tool that lets you use cloud storage like a regular hard drive on your computer or server. It lets you open, save, and work with files directly in the cloud without downloading or uploading them every time. It connects to cheap S3-compatible object storage and makes that storage appear as a normal folder you can browse and edit. This means you get fast access to huge amounts of files while only paying for the low-cost storage instead of expensive servers. The real-world value is that teams can share massive datasets or backups reliably without worrying about running out of disk space or managing complex servers.
Connection / Setup
- Create an account and log in to DiskSpace
- Click I'm ready to set up my storage
- Enter Bucket Name following the instructions
- Click Create Bucket and wait for it to be generated
- Find your Endpoint URL, Access Key, and Secret Key in the S3 Client Configuration section for use below
Connect ObjectiveFS to DiskSpace.sh
ObjectiveFS is fully compatible with DiskSpace.sh S3-compatible storage. Follow the steps below to configure your connection.
Connection Steps
- Download and install the latest ObjectiveFS package for your operating system.
- Create a configuration file or use the
objectivefscommand-line tool to set up the credentials. - Provide the following connection details when prompted:
Endpoint URL
https://s3.diskspace.sh
Access Key
Your DiskSpace.sh access key ID
Secret Key
Your DiskSpace.sh secret access key
Region: Leave empty or set to
us-east-1
Important: Path-Style Requests Required
DiskSpace.sh requires path-style URLs. ObjectiveFS will automatically use the correct format when the endpoint is configured as shown above.
Example URL format:
https://s3.diskspace.sh/bucket-name/key
Configuration Example
# Example objectivefs config
endpoint = https://s3.diskspace.sh
access_key = YOUR_ACCESS_KEY
secret_key = YOUR_SECRET_KEY
region = us-east-1
path_style = true
Troubleshooting
- Ensure you are using the exact endpoint
https://s3.diskspace.sh(no trailing slash) - Verify that your Access Key and Secret Key are correct
- Confirm that path-style requests are enabled in your ObjectiveFS configuration
- If mounting fails, try setting the region explicitly to
us-east-1 - Check firewall rules and network connectivity to
s3.diskspace.sh
