Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) is the proprietary storage service used on [Amazon Web Services](http://aws.amazon.com/).   To set up Amazon S3, you need: Access Key, Secret (Access) Key and an S3 bucket.

## Access Keys

To get the Access Key and Secret (Access) Key, follow [these instructions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/powershell/latest/userguide/pstools-appendix-sign-up.html).

The permissions required for the key are as follows:

```
{  
  
    "Version": "2012-10-17",  
    "Statement": [  
  
        {  
            "Sid": "VisualEditor0",  
            "Effect": "Allow",  
            "Action": "s3:ListAllMyBuckets",  
            "Resource": "*"  
        },  
        {  
            "Sid": "VisualEditor1",  
            "Effect": "Allow",  
            "Action": [  
  
                "s3:GetObjectAcl",  
                "s3:GetObject",  
                "s3:ListBucketVersions",  
                "s3:GetObjectVersionAcl",  
                "s3:GetObjectTagging",  
                "s3:ListBucket",  
                "s3:GetBucketAcl",  
                "s3:GetBucketLocation",  
                "s3:GetObjectVersion"  
            ],  
  
            "Resource": [  
  
                "arn:aws:s3:::your-bucket",  
                "arn:aws:s3:::your-bucket/*"  
            ]  
        }  
    ]  
}
```
