    - **Address:** `s3.REGION.scw.cloud`
    - **Port:** `443`
    - **Access key ID:** your Access key
    - **Secret:** your Secret key
    - **Root URL:** `https://s3.REGION.scw.cloud`

    <Message type="important">
      Edit the **Address** and **Root URL** parameters to the region of your bucket. It can either be `fr-par` (Paris, France), `nl-ams` (Amsterdam, The Netherlands), or `pl-waw`(Warsaw, Poland).
