Context
If you work with an external S3-compatible bucket to store your data, you can choose to work with it in parallel of (or instead of) the EDITO data storage.
Add an external bucket
To set up an external S3 bucket on EDITO, you can add it directly through the Datalab:
Go to Project Settings and stay on S3 Configurations
(1)Add you external bucket using the button Add a custom S3 configuration
(2)For your configuration options:
If you have a public bucket, you can enable the Anonymous option (see next section)
For a private bucket, you will need your access credentials
Enable Use for EDITO explorers to browse your bucket graphically in our FIle Explorer (see next section)
You can then browse your data through the File Explorer
đ Notes:
To access a private/external bucket from outside of EDITO, you don't need an EDITO account; the bucket credentials are sufficient. If you need partners to upload data on one of your bucket they can do so by simply having the credentials of the bucket.
You can add an AWS bucket, an OVH bucket, or any other S3 bucket here.
Connect with public storage
It is possible to connect to public buckets using the Anonymous option, allowing integration with external storage provider or even with other EDITO project storage public paths.
Browse buckets
By enabling the Use for EDITO explorers option, it is also possible to use the âFile Explorerâ page to graphically browse the bucket.
