It browses +large buckets, uploads and downloads in parallel with pause and resume, syncs folders with a preview, +restores old versions and undeletes files, and has a command line and a built-in MCP server for AI +tools. It has a Storj preset, tested against Storj with its full compatibility suite. + +BucketWorx has a free edition, and a one-time Pro licence for multiple accounts, folder sync and AI +write access. It's in public beta. + +## Create S3 credentials + +BucketWorx connects through Storj's S3-compatible gateway, so it needs S3 credentials, not an access +grant. Follow [](docId:_xWsamBjOsZYyu9xtQCm5#create-s3-credentials) and choose **S3 Credentials** as the +access type. Copy the **Access Key** and **Secret Key**: the secret is shown only once. + +## Connect BucketWorx to Storj + +1. In BucketWorx, click **Add account**. +2. Choose **Storj** from the **Provider** list. BucketWorx fills in the endpoint, + `https://gateway.storjshare.io`, and the settings Storj needs. +3. Give the account a name, and paste the access key and secret key. + +![](https://link.us1.storjshare.io/raw/jua7rls6hkx5556qfcmhrqed2tfa/docs/images/699205781-0aeafa65-dbc2-4c71-bf5a-0c92e7b86067.png) + +4.

Its recycle bin view lists everything deleted in a folder and the folders below. +- **Object Lock** works: locked files can't be overwritten or deleted. +- **Deleting a bucket.** BucketWorx refuses to delete a bucket that still holds old versions or delete + markers, so they're never removed with it by accident. +- **Not offered on Storj:** object ACLs, CORS rules, bucket policies, lifecycle rules, website settings + and storage classes, as Storj doesn't support them. + +More detail: [BucketWorx provider notes](https://bucketworx.com/help/provider-notes/#storj).
