17 * When creating new users, do not forget to note the combination (Access key ID, Secret access key) of each user. Digdash’s Amazon S3 client needs this information to connect to your server.
18 * Create a bucket with a universally unique name.

22 * Amazon S3 is cloud storage for the Internet. To upload your data (photos, videos, documents etc.), you first create a bucket in one of the AWS Regions. You can then upload an unlimited number of data objects to the bucket.

69 == Server name ==
70
71 Give a name to your new Amazon S3 document server.
72
73 == URL ==
74
75 You do not need to mention any URL to create a new Amazon S3 document server.
76
77 == Path (documents path for a user) ==
78
79 The user document path absolutely must start with the bucket name you want to explore, potentially followed by the path of subfolders.
80
81 Besides, the bucket name allows Digdash to check whether the connection is valid.
82
83 Example : Given this bucket name: « dd-com-test-bucket »
84
85 So a valid path may be :
86
87 dd-com-test-bucket/directory1/directory2/directory3/
88
89 == Exploration of subfolders ==
90
91 You have the possibility to set the level of exploration of the subfolders from your document path. By default, Digdash seeks for all your documents, recursively, and explores all the subfolders.
92
93 |Fields|//Explore subfolders//|(% colspan="2" %)//Level of subfolders//

111 == Read only ==
112
113 Only the lecture is possible when this option is selected.
114
115 == Access key ID ==
116
117 Enter the access key ID that you got when the user was created.
118
119 == Secret access key ==
120
121 Enter the secret access key that you got when the user was created.
122
123 = Possible actions =
124
125 Via the browser version of the document manager, you can proceed many actions on your documents on your Amazon S3 account.
126
127 == Downloading ==

131
132 //__Screenshot : Downloading a document from Amazon S3__//
133
134 It is a basic action. Every connected Digdash user is at least able to read any documents on the server.
135
136 This action is possible via this icon:[[image:amazonS3_en_html_fb114753cc5d7478.png]] .
137
138
139 == Uploading ==

148 __**Note:**__ In Digdash, it is preferable to upload documents with explicit extensions.
149 )))
150
151 Three options are possible:
152
153 * **Choose a local file**: click on **Browse...  **to select the document to add. Click **OK**.**  **The dialog **Open** shows.
154 * **Enter a URL**: Enter the URL of your document. If the checkbox **Only add the URL link to the Documents server **is deselected, the content pointed by the URL is downloaded only just once. If the checkbox **Only add the URL link to the Documents server** is selected, the content will be downloaded by the server every time it needs to (for a data source or required by the user). If required by the user, the URL must be reachable by the server. You can also insert user variables in the URL (${user.uid}, etc. Cf documentation). You can use a URL starting with « file:~/~/ » but in that case, the option **Only add the URL link to the Documents server** is selected by default. This kind of URL should refer to a file on the disk of the server. The link name must end with the extension of the file (.csv, .html, etc.).
155 * **Create a new link**: Create a new link to a document on the server. The pointed file is the last document (alphabetically) corresponding to the link. For example, a link like “document*.csv” will refer to the last CSV file starting with “document”.

176 )))
177
178 === Renaming ===
179
180 You are able to rename a document. You will specify in the text field the new name without any extension (it remains the same).
181
182 == Deleting ==
183
184 You are able to delete one or several existing documents in the directory specified during the server configuration.
