If you are using SMEStorage with your own Amazon S3 keys from our OpenS3 beta programme, you can now create new buckets that are located in Europe as we now support the Amazon European bucket functionality.
To do this do as follows:
Step one: Go to MyAccount – > MyProviders
Step two: Choose to syncrhonize your S3 Account
Step three: Add the checkbox for ‘European Bucket’
Remember: You will need to add this bucket to you account (using “manage additional buckets” link) to be able to use it. Also if you want this as the default bucket you will also need to change it using the “default bucket” link.
This is useful if you reside in Europe as the latency should be less for uploads and download, and also if you have documents or files that should not cross country borders.
