Contabo Object Storage
Dropshare 5.33 and newer
To set up a connection to a Contabo Object Storage bucket, you need to create an Contabo Connection in the Connections preferences after you've created the bucket in your Contabo console.
Step 1: Create Bucket
To create your Contabo Object Storage bucket to use with Dropshare, log in to the Contabo console, locate Object Storage, click on Object Storage (Buckets), and Create Bucket. Enter a name and select a region of your choice. Please note down the Region as you need it in step 3.
Create the bucket, and navigate to the bucket sharing preferences. Click the following icon:
Enable Make Public, and note down the Public Bucket URL.
Step 2: Get Access Keys and Grant Access
Once the bucket has been created, go to Account, Security & Access and obtain the S3 Object Storage Credentials (Access Key & Secret Key) for Dropshare.
Step 3: Set Up Connection
Go to the Dropshare preferences, open the Connections tab, and choose to create a new Contabo Conneciton.
