CloudMounter

Mount a bucket as a drive on macOS or Windows.

CloudMounter mounts a Zata bucket as a drive on macOS and Windows. It connects with its Amazon S3 connection type.

Before you start

• A bucket — see Create a bucket.
• An access key from the same region as the bucket — see Access keys.
• CloudMounter installed — download CloudMounter for macOS or Windows.

Connection settings

Setting	Value
Connection type	Amazon S3
Server endpoint	https://idr01.zata.ai for Indore, https://bom01.zata.ai for Mumbai
Access Key / Secret Key	from Access Keys in the Zata console — the key must be from the same region as the bucket
Use path-style URLs to access buckets	On (recommended — needed if your bucket name has dots)
Bucket	your bucket name

Set up CloudMounter

Choose Amazon S3

Open CloudMounter and select Amazon S3.

Enter the Zata details

Enter a Name such as zata, your Access Key and Secret Key, and set Server endpoint to https://idr01.zata.ai for Indore (https://bom01.zata.ai for Mumbai). Tick Use path-style URLs to access buckets, enter your Bucket, and select Mount.

Open the drive

The bucket appears as a mounted drive — in Finder on macOS, or in File Explorer on Windows. Check the status icon in CloudMounter to see when a transfer is done.

Test it

Drag a small file onto the drive and wait until the CloudMounter status icon shows the upload is done. Check that the file appears in the bucket in the Zata console under Buckets. Then copy it back to a local folder and open it.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Fix
Mount fails	Check that Server endpoint matches the region of your bucket and key, and that the bucket name is exact.
TLS or certificate error with a bucket name that has dots	Tick Use path-style URLs to access buckets.
Access denied or invalid credentials	Copy the keys again from Access Keys, and check that the key can use this bucket.
The file is not in the bucket yet	Watch the CloudMounter status icon until the transfer is done.
