# S3 compatible endpoints (DigitalOcean spaces)

## Configuration

### Connecting the DigitalOcean spaces data source

UI Bakery supports S3-compatible object storage APIs, for example, [DigitalOcean Spaces](https://www.digitalocean.com/products/spaces/). 

You can connect it following the same flow as with the AWS S3 data source. Let's recap the steps:

1. On the **Data sources** page, click **Connect**, and select *AWS S3* in the Data sources list.
2. Enter the data source name and specify the **Access key ID** and **Secret access key ID.**
3. Select the **Use custom endpoint** checkbox and specify the base URL.
4. Click **Test connection** to check whether the data source can be connected, and then click **Connect Datasource** to complete the setup.

## Usage

### Using the S3 file uploader component with DigitalOcean Spaces

Using the [S3 file uploader](/reference/working-with-components/aws-s3-uploader.md) component implies direct upload to the bucket. If you're planning to use it in UI Bakery, you need to set up *CORS settings* in your DigitalOcean bucket settings.&#x20;

In the settings, use `https://cloudworkbench.uibakery.io` for the **Origin** field - on cloud. For the self-hosted version, change `https://cloudworkbench.uibakery.io` to the domain from which you access your UI Bakery instance.
