> Connect Wasabi hot cloud storage to BucketMate Web with S3-compatible access keys

Canonical: https://docs.bucketmate.app/web/providers/connect-wasabi

BucketMate Web connects to Wasabi through its S3-compatible API endpoint for your region. Make sure the companion browser extension is connected before testing the connection.

## Prerequisites

- Wasabi account
- Wasabi bucket
- Access key
- Secret key
- Bucket region
- BucketMate browser extension

## Endpoint and region

Use the endpoint for your Wasabi region:

```text
https://s3.<region>.wasabisys.com
```

Examples:

| Region | Endpoint |
| --- | --- |
| `us-east-1` | `https://s3.us-east-1.wasabisys.com` |
| `us-east-2` | `https://s3.us-east-2.wasabisys.com` |
| `us-central-1` | `https://s3.us-central-1.wasabisys.com` |
| `us-west-1` | `https://s3.us-west-1.wasabisys.com` |
| `eu-central-1` | `https://s3.eu-central-1.wasabisys.com` |
| `ap-northeast-1` | `https://s3.ap-northeast-1.wasabisys.com` |

## Connection steps

1. Open the Wasabi console.
2. Create or copy access keys.
3. Open BucketMate Web.
4. Confirm the extension bridge is connected.
5. Choose **Add Connection**.
6. Select **Wasabi**.
7. Enter the endpoint for the bucket region.
8. Enter the access key and secret key.
9. Select the matching region.
10. Use **Test Connection**.
11. Save the connection.

## Common issues and fixes

### Region mismatch

Use the endpoint and region that match the bucket. A mismatch can cause redirect, signature, or access errors.

### Bucket list permission is restricted

If the credentials can access only specific buckets, add those bucket names in **Explicit Buckets**.

### Direct URLs do not open

Direct copied object URLs work only when the object is publicly reachable. Use presigned share links for private files.

### Bucket operations fail

Confirm the access key has bucket-level permission before using create, empty, or delete bucket actions.
