# Amazon S3
This document describes an [advanced tool](/en/box-shuttle/about-box-shuttle/box-shuttle-standard-and-advanced-tooling) that is not available to all users by default.
Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) is the proprietary storage service used on [Amazon Web Services](http://aws.amazon.com/). To set up Amazon S3, you need: Access Key, Secret (Access) Key and an S3 bucket.
## Access Keys
To get the Access Key and Secret (Access) Key, follow [these instructions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/powershell/latest/userguide/pstools-appendix-sign-up.html).
The permissions required for the key are as follows:
```
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Sid": "VisualEditor0",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": "s3:ListAllMyBuckets",
"Resource": "*"
},
{
"Sid": "VisualEditor1",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"s3:GetObjectAcl",

],
"Resource": [
"arn:aws:s3:::your-bucket",

]
}
]
}
```
