# S3

Arcwise supports any S3-compatible storage bucket as a destination for file uploads or third-party integrations. See [Connecting to Integrations](/arcwise-setup/integrations/overview.md) for more details (Arcwise will create a Parquet file every time you pull data from an integration like Salesforce or Hubspot).

## Add S3 credentials in Arcwise

1. Log into the Arcwise Admin portal and [set up users/roles for your team first](/arcwise-setup/user-and-role-management.md).
2. Go to the “Connections” tab in the Arcwise admin panel (<https://admin.arcwise.app/#/warehouse_connections>)
3. Click on the “+ Create” button (top-right) and select "S3" from the Warehouse Type dropdown.
4. (Optional) Toggle ON the “Use as file upload connection” to use this connection for file uploads. When this is enabled, this connection should be used exclusively for uploads.

### S3 compatibility for other clouds

Almost all the major cloud storage bucket solutions are S3-compatible. Here are some links for the major cloud providers:

* [Google Cloud Storage](https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/interoperability) - set up an HMAC key and use `https://storage.googleapis.com` as the endpoint override
* [Cloudflare R2](https://developers.cloudflare.com/r2/api/s3/api/)
* Azure Storage currently doesn't have a built-in S3 compatibility layer, but there are [open source proxy](https://github.com/gaul/s3proxy) solutions.
