# Connect to an object storage bucket

> Connect an external object storage bucket to NexusOne and access it from JupyterHub.

After creating a bucket in Minio, AWS S3, or other object storage providers, you can connect the
bucket to NexusOne and start interacting with it. Connecting to this bucket creates an S3 bucket
in NexusOne that's accessible on JupyterHub.

## Connect an object storage

Perform these steps to connect to an object storage bucket.

1. Log in to NexusOne.

2. On the top navigation bar, hover your mouse over **Govern** and then select **Object Storage**.

3. Click the plus `+` icon in the top right corner of the page to create a bucket.

4. In the **Name** field, enter a bucket name.

5. In the **Endpoint** field, enter a URL to the object storage. Append `:443` to the end of the URL.

   ```bash theme={null}
   # Example
   https://storage.example.com:443
   ```

6. In the **Access Key** field, enter your object storage provider's access key.

7. In the **Secret Key** field, enter your object storage provider's secret key.

8. Click **Create**.
