-# Amazon S3 compatible API 
  
-The Enterprise File Fabric provides support for an Amazon S3 compatible API. This means the S3 compatible object storage API can be used to access files that have been mapped to the File Fabric, such as files available on Google Drive, RackSpace Cloud Files, or Microsoft OneDrive, or any of the many other clouds that the solution supports. 
- 
-The S3 API is available on the SaaS hosted service and also on the enterprise on-premises edition of the product. 
- 
-## Client Configuration 
- 
-To use the S3 API the: 
- 
- 1. Cloud S3 Endpoint 
- 2. Access Key ID 
- 3. Secret Access Key 
- 
-are required. 
- 
-### 1. Cloud S3 Endpoint

-For the SaaS hosted service it is required to use one of the following S3 API endpoints: 
- 
- * http://s3.storagemadeeasy.com (US Server) 
- * https://s3.storagemadeeasy.com (US Server) 
- * http://s3eu.storagemadeeasy.com (EU Server) 
- * https://s3eu.storagemadeeasy.com (EU Server) 
- 
-Naturally http endpoints are not secure and should not be used for production data. 
- 
-For the enterprise on-premises version of the product the S3 access nomenclature is set through the ConfigServer. 
- 
-### 2. Access Key ID 
- 
-The Access Key ID is the SME or File Fabric username. 
- 
-### 3. Secret Access Key  
- 
-You can obtain the API secret key by logging into the File Fabric going to **My Account** from the sidebar and copying the key from where it says **API secret key**.
