Connecting to Wasabi Storage with CS Browser

We have recently added some new features for Amazon S3 compatible accounts like custom s3 regions and region specific endpoints, and hope these improvements will make your work with Amazon S3 compatible storage services even more effective and comfortable.

In this article we would like to show you how to employ these new features with Wasabi - an Amazon S3 compatible object storage.

Registering Wasabi Account in CS Browser:

1. Start CS Browser and choose Accounts > Add new account.

   

   Add New Account dialog will open:

   

2. Choose Amazon S3 Compatible Storage as account type

3. Specify the API Endpoint - s3.wasabisys.com

4. Specify Access Key ID and Secret Access Key - access keys can be found in your Wasabi Console/Access Keys

5. Enable Encrypt Access Keys with a password to use your own master password instead of the built-in application key. CS Browser will prompt for it whenever it needs to unlock this account.

6. Turn on Use secure transfer (SSL/TLS) - if you would like to encrypt all communications with the storage.

7. Click the advanced settings link.
