description:
How to connect BucketWorx, a desktop S3 client for Windows, macOS and Linux, to Storj with S3
credentials, and what to know about part sizes, versions and Object Lock.
---

[BucketWorx](https://bucketworx.com) is a desktop S3 client for Windows, macOS and Linux. 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.

4. Press **Test connection**, then **Save**. Your buckets appear under the account in the sidebar.

BucketWorx keeps the secret key in your operating system's keychain.

## What BucketWorx does differently on Storj

- **Part size.** Large files are uploaded in parts of at least 64 MB, so each part fills a Storj segment.
- **Versions.** In a bucket with versioning, BucketWorx shows each file's versions, restores old ones,
and undeletes files. 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.
