# odrive

odrive brings many cloud storage services together in one place on Windows and macOS. You can link a Zata bucket to it as **S3 Compatible** storage and browse it next to your other storage.

## Before you start

* A bucket — see [Create a bucket](/buckets/create-a-bucket).
* An access key from the same region as the bucket — see [Access keys](/access/access-keys).
* odrive installed and signed in — see the [odrive usage guide](https://docs.odrive.com/docs/odrive-usage-guide). After you install it, select **GET STARTED**; a browser page opens where you sign in or sign up.

#### Enter the Zata details

Enter a **NAME** such as `zata`, then the **HOST**, **BUCKET NAME**, **ACCESS KEY ID** and **SECRET ACCESS KEY**. Keep **DEFAULT STORAGE CLASS** at **STANDARD** and **DIRECTORY STRUCTURE** at **SIMPLE '/' DELIMITED**. Select **LINK**.

#### Open the linked storage

The new storage appears in your list, with the bucket name under **ACCOUNT**. Open it to see the files in your bucket.

## Test it

Add a small file to the linked Zata storage in odrive. Check that it appears in the bucket in the Zata console under **Buckets**. Then download it again from odrive.

## Troubleshooting

| Problem                              | Fix                                                                                                                   |
| ------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Linking fails                        | Check that **HOST** is `idr01.zata.ai` or `bom01.zata.ai` for the bucket's region, and that **BUCKET NAME** is exact. |
| Access denied or invalid credentials | Copy the keys again from **Access Keys**, without extra spaces, and check that the key can use the bucket.            |
| Uploads fail with `InvalidArgument`  | Set **DEFAULT STORAGE CLASS** to **STANDARD**. Zata rejects other storage classes.                                    |

For other errors, see [Access denied](/help/troubleshooting/access-denied) and [Endpoint and region](/help/troubleshooting/endpoint-and-region).
