S3-Compatible

Mover's S3-compatible connection type lets you connect to a variety of private cloud services that speak the S3 protocol. These include things like IBM Cloud, Oracle Cloud, Minio, DigitalOcean Spaces, and more.

Add a S3 Compatible Connection

Create a new Connection and choose S3 Compatible for the connection type.

Provide a Connection Label so you can identify the connection in a list. This is especially important if you need more than one connection of the same type.

Bucket Details

Enter the name of the bucket to use for the connection.

Add the Endpoint for accessing your bucket via API.

Choose the Region where your bucket resides, if required by your provider.

Credentials

Mover uses an Access Key and Secret Key to authenticate requests, following the protocol established by AWS for S3. Check your storage provider's documentation for how to create the access key and secret key.

Check For Case Sensitivity

Be aware of case sensitivity differences when copying, moving, or syncing files and folders between connections. Copying items from a system which is not case sensitive to another that is case sensitive could result in 1 item being treated as 2 different ones, such as attempting to overwrite MyFile.txt with myfile.txt .

In the other direction, copying from a case sensitive system to another that is not case sensitive can cause files to be overwritten, and folders to have their contents merged, if their case insensitive names are a match.

Check the documentation on your storage providers to determine if you might need to account for case sensitivity differences.
