How to connect Amazon S3
You need a Name, an Access Key ID, and a Secret Access Key. Create IAM keys with S3 permissions — never use the root password. You can save more than one AWS account.
You can save multiple named Amazon S3 accounts. Credentials stay in workspace secret storage and are never shown after save.
