MEGA S4

Mount a MEGA S4 Object Storage bucket as a Windows drive.

Before you begin

Prepare the following in advance:

  • An S4 Access Key ID and Secret Access Key pair.

Where to get the keys — in the S4 console (mega.nz):

  1. Click Object storage in the left panel.
  2. Click Keys in the left panel.
  3. Click Create key.
  4. Enter a name for the key.
  5. Choose whether the key is for the root user or a sub-user. For a sub-user, also choose the existing user to add the key to.
  6. Copy the Access key and Secret key. You can also click Download to save them to a credentials file.

In RaiDrive, enter the Access key in Access Key ID and the Secret key in Secret Access Key.

Manual bucket entry

If your key is not allowed to list buckets, tick the checkbox to the left of the bucket field and type the bucket name directly.

Behavior & limits

  • The drive talks to the endpoint you choose (s3.<region>.megas4.com). Each endpoint is a regional cache, so the closest one is usually the fastest.
  • Buckets are not tied to a region, so any endpoint reaches any bucket. You can change the endpoint later in the drive properties and keep the same bucket.
  • The ? button next to Endpoint opens MEGA S4 endpoint URLs, MEGA's list of current endpoints.
  • A drive that uses an old MEGA S4 address (s4.mega.io) moves to the endpoint in the same city. RaiDrive saves the new address the next time you connect the drive.

Troubleshooting
