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.

Connect

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

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
