# Set Up an Amazon S3 Connection

Set up data forwarding through an Amazon S3 connection from the Data Forwarding page. Data forwarding through Amazon S3 supports both transferring results data and images. To set up the connection, you need to provide a custom file path, and files and details that you can get from your AWS account.

## Prerequisites

Before you start, ensure that the following prerequisites are met:

- The Unit is connected to the Internet.

- You are subscribed to the devices whose data you want to forward to an S3 bucket.

- The certificate and private key files, generated from your AWS account, are available.

## Procedure

To set up an Amazon S3 connection:

1. Click Create Connection on the Data Forwarding page.

2. Choose Amazon S3.

3. Configure your connection.

   1. Provide the Connection Name.

   2. Optionally, to help differentiate between connections, provide a custom Client ID.

   3. Upload the certificate and private key files generated from your AWS account.

4. Define a custom file path.

   Note: You can use a mix of literals and tokens to set up the custom file path. Tokens are replaced object information at the time of forwarding (for example, triggerID, timestamp). Image information tokens are only available for forwarding images and are not replaced on other data types.

5. Provide the details for the Connection Settings. You can find these details in your AWS account.

6. To choose the data you want to forward and the source devices, check the corresponding box.

7. Click Save.

Your connection is now listed on the Data Forwarding page. You can edit, pause, and delete connections here.
