Wasabi¶
Mount a Wasabi bucket as a Windows drive.
Before you begin¶
You need an Access Key ID and Secret Access Key pair.
Where to get the keys — in the Wasabi console: open Access Keys in the left menu and click Create New Access Key; copy or download both values — the secret is shown only once. For daily use Wasabi recommends creating keys under a sub-user instead of the root account.
Help from Wasabi
Connect¶
- Click Add in the toolbar.
- Choose Enterprise → Wasabi.
- Enter the Access Key ID and Secret Access Key, then click the Refresh button next to the bucket field.
- Select the bucket and click Connect.
Settings¶
| Setting | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Access Key ID / Secret Access Key | Wasabi credentials | — |
| Bucket | The bucket to mount (list or manual entry) | — |
| Read-only | Blocks writes to the mounted drive | off |
Behavior & limits¶
- Buckets are discovered across Wasabi's storage regions
(
s3.<region>.wasabisys.com— us-east-1/2, us-central-1, us-west-1, ca-central-1, eu-central-1/2, eu-west-1/2, ap-northeast-1/2, ap-southeast-1/2). - Wasabi's pricing has no egress fee, but deleting objects earlier than the minimum storage duration still incurs the timed-storage charge — see Wasabi: minimum storage duration policy.
- S3 semantics: renaming a large folder tree copies and deletes every object under the prefix.
Troubleshooting¶
| Symptom | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Bucket list empty | Sub-user policy lacks ListAllMyBuckets | Extend the policy, or type the bucket manually |
| Access Denied on connect | Key lacks bucket permission | Check the bucket policy in the Wasabi console |
