Storage

Getting Started

Set up Edge Storage and upload your first object in under 5 minutes.

Prerequisites

An Edge account (sign up free)
AWS CLI installed (optional, but recommended)

Create an Access Key

Navigate to Storage → Access Keys in your Edge account and click Generate New Key.

Important

Save your Secret Access Key immediately — it won't be shown again.

Configure AWS CLI

Create a named profile for Edge Storage:

$ aws configure --profile edge
AWS Access Key ID [None]: YOUR_ACCESS_KEY
AWS Secret Access Key [None]: YOUR_SECRET_KEY
Default region name [None]: us-east-1
Default output format [None]: json

Create a Bucket

Create your first bucket via CLI or the control panel:

$ aws --profile edge --endpoint-url https://storage.edge.network \
    s3 mb s3://my-first-bucket

make_bucket: my-first-bucket

Upload Your First Object

Upload a file to your new bucket:

$ echo "Hello, Edge Storage!" > hello.txt

$ aws --profile edge --endpoint-url https://storage.edge.network \
    s3 cp hello.txt s3://my-first-bucket/

upload: ./hello.txt to s3://my-first-bucket/hello.txt

Verify the Upload

List objects in your bucket:

$ aws --profile edge --endpoint-url https://storage.edge.network \
    s3 ls s3://my-first-bucket/

2025-02-12 10:30:00         21 hello.txt

Pro Tip: Create an Alias

Add this to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc:

alias es='aws --profile edge --endpoint-url https://storage.edge.network s3'

Then use it like this:

$ es ls
$ es cp file.txt s3://my-bucket/
$ es sync ./local-dir s3://my-bucket/backup/
