# Amazon S3 buckets
<a name="S3-buckets"></a>

Research and Engineering Studio (RES) supports mounting [Amazon S3 buckets](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/Welcome.html) to Linux Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) instances. RES Administrators can onboard S3 buckets to RES, attach them to projects, edit their configuration, and remove buckets in the S3 buckets tab under **Environment Management**.

The S3 buckets dashboard provides a list of onboarded S3 buckets available to you. From the S3 buckets dashboard, you can:

1. Use **Add bucket** to onboard an S3 bucket to RES. 

1. Select an S3 bucket and use the **Actions** menu to: 
   + Edit a bucket
   + Remove a bucket

1. Use the search field to search by Bucket name and find onboarded S3 buckets.
