Mount an OCI Object Storage bucket as a Windows drive through Oracle's S3-compatible API.

Before you begin

From the OCI console you need your tenancy's object storage namespace and a Customer Secret Key pair.

Where to get them:

1. Namespace — click your profile icon → Tenancy; copy the Object storage namespace value.
2. Keys — profile icon → My profile → Customer secret keys → Generate secret key. The generated key's Access Key and the secret shown at creation are your key pair (the secret is shown only once).

Help from Oracle

• Customer secret keys
• Amazon S3 Compatibility API
• Object Storage documentation

Connect

1. Click Add in the toolbar.
2. Choose Enterprise → Oracle Cloud.
3. Enter the Namespace, Access Key ID, and Secret Access Key, then click the Refresh button next to the bucket field.
4. Select the bucket and click Connect.

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.

Settings

Setting	Description	Default
Namespace	Tenancy's object storage namespace	—
Access Key ID / Secret Access Key	Customer Secret Key pair	—
Bucket	The bucket to mount (list or manual entry)	—
Read-only	Blocks writes to the mounted drive	off

Behavior & limits

• The drive talks to <namespace>.compat.objectstorage.<region>.oraclecloud.com; buckets are searched across OCI regions.
• Regions that hold no data respond with an error to listing — RaiDrive ignores these, so a long region sweep on first load is normal.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Cause	Fix
Authentication fails	API key used instead of Customer Secret Key	Create a Customer Secret Key and use that pair
Bucket list empty	Wrong namespace	Copy the namespace exactly from the tenancy page
