Cloud Storage
Note: This feature is available in Enterprise, AWS, and GCP editions only.
Cloud storage lets you manage files and work with .sql scripts in Amazon S3 and
Google Cloud Storage.
- As an administrator, go to Settings -> Administration -> Server Configuration
- In the Configuration section, enable the cloud providers you need: Cloud (AWS) or Cloud (Google)
- Enable Cloud storage to allow file management
- Save the changes.
Tip: Cloud storage supports Pass-Through Authentication - once you log in with your identity provider, no additional credentials are needed to access cloud databases. For more details, see Pass-Through Authentication. In the CloudBeaver AWS Edition, you can use default instance credentials.
To use Cloud storage with AWS, make sure:
- An AWS-compatible Identity Provider is configured. For available options, see Authentication Methods.
- the AWS regions where your databases are located are selected AWS Settings
To use Cloud storage with GCP, configure Google as an Identity Provider.
For setup instructions, see Google authentication.
Once you have configured your identity provider, you can work with the data files. Navigate to Tools -> Cloud storage to access it.
In the Cloud storage you can manage files like in a regular file system. Right-click a file or folder to open the context menu and access options such as:
- upload files from your local storage to a bucket
- download files to your local storage
- delete or rename files
- drag and drop files between buckets or file systems
Tip: Use the Settings button
for additional configuration options. For more details, see the Settings menu.
