TntDrive mounts a Zata bucket as a network drive on Windows. The bucket gets a drive letter in This PC, and you use it like a local disk.

An access key from the same region as the bucket — see Access keys.
TntDrive installed — download TntDrive.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Fix
The bucket list is empty	Check that the REST Endpoint matches the region of your key. Sub-user keys never list buckets — type the bucket name in Amazon S3 bucket.
Access denied or invalid credentials	Copy the keys again from Access Keys, without extra spaces.
Connection errors	Make sure the REST Endpoint starts with `https://` and Use secure transfer (SSL/TLS) is ticked.

For other errors, see Access denied and Endpoint and region.
