## Summary

|                 |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                |
| --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Purpose**     | **Object storage** (S3, GCS buckets, Azure Blob containers—provider-dependent).                                                                                                                                                |
| **Create menu** | Often references **S3** on AWS.                                                                                                                                                                                                |
| **API subtype** | `storage_bucket`.                                                                                                                                                                                                              |
| **Panel**       | **`StorageBucketConfigurationPanel`** — **name**, **region** (from the project regions API), optional **description**, **versioning** toggle, and **block public access** (defaults toward blocking public access when unset). |

## Configuration (typical)

* **Region** — Defaults to the project’s default or first active region when available.
* **Versioning** — Enable object version history where the provider supports it.
* **Public access** — When **public access is blocked**, the bucket is not world-readable by default; adjust only when you intend a public asset workflow (often combined with [static website](/gateways/resources/static-website) or public read policies where allowed).

## Canvas and connections

* Use with [Utilities → Storage bucket explorer](/gateways/resources/utilities#storage-bucket-explorer) to browse objects.
* Serve via [static website](/gateways/resources/static-website) hosting patterns or connect to other resources your **resource connection** rules allow.

## Operations

* **Sync** updates bucket metadata from the cloud.
* **Delete** removes the bucket when empty or per provider rules (check for versioned objects and policies first).
