+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

For institutions and organizations looking to use Amazon's S3 cloud storage for their installation, this can be set up manually through creation of the credentials and config files or automatically via the AWS console commands.

For institutions and organizations looking to use some kind of S3-based object storage for files uploaded to Dataverse,
this is entirely possible. You can either use Amazon Web Services or use some other, even on-site S3-compatible
storage (like Minio, Ceph RADOS S3 Gateway and many more).

**Note:** The Dataverse Team is most familiar with AWS S3, and can provide support on its usage with Dataverse. Thanks to community contributions, the application's architecture also allows non-AWS S3 providers. The Dataverse Team can provide very limited support on these other providers. We recommend reaching out to the wider Dataverse community if you have questions.
