S3 / R2 connector

S3-compatible buckets (AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, MinIO) with SigV4 and optional private MinIO.

How it works

Connect

Admin credentials

Browse

Folder or case scope

Import

Into a Northdocs case

Apply

Then verify

Write-back

Optional, off by default

Point a scoped prefix at Northdocs. Write-back stays off until you turn it on.

Prerequisites: a scoped IAM or MinIO user with list/get/put on one prefix, plus the HTTPS endpoint and bucket name.

Open Integrations, then Connect on S3 / R2. The numbered guide on that page matches the steps below.

Connect one bucket (and optional prefix) with a scoped IAM or MinIO user. There is no OAuth screen.

1
Create a scoped user
IAM or MinIO user with list/get/put on one prefix. Do not use a root account.
2
Enter endpoint, bucket, and region
R2 example endpoint: https://xxx.r2.cloudflarestorage.com. Region can be auto. Optional prefix keeps browse inside one folder.
3
Paste the access keys
Access key id and secret access key on the left. Stored encrypted.
4
Private MinIO
If the bucket is not on the public internet, select a private link under Network and set Endpoint to the private MinIO hostname. SigV4 Host stays on that hostname.
5
Connect, then browse
Connect uses SigV4. Then Browse & import. Leave write-back off until the prefix is confirmed.

With a NetBird private link, Endpoint is the private MinIO host (SigV4 Host stays on that hostname).
