[Guide] Change Amazon S3 storage class
Posted: 03 Mar 2025, 23:53
The default GUI config tool for setting up a CloudSync connection to Amazon S3 bucket does not let you configure the storage class to use, and therefore uses the default Standard storage class.
CloudSync is just a rebrand(?) of rclone, so one a connection has been created, it's possible to change the default storage class as follow;
ssh to terramaster
cd /Volume1/@apps/CloudSync
vi rclone.conf
at the bottom add: storage_class = DEEP_ARCHIVE
where DEEP_ARCHIVE is the class you want to use (from rclone manual):
"" Default
"STANDARD" Standard storage class
"REDUCED_REDUNDANCY" Reduced redundancy storage class
"STANDARD_IA" Standard Infrequent Access storage class
"ONEZONE_IA" One Zone Infrequent Access storage class
"GLACIER" Glacier Flexible Retrieval storage class
"DEEP_ARCHIVE" Glacier Deep Archive storage class
"INTELLIGENT_TIERING" Intelligent-Tiering storage class
"GLACIER_IR" Glacier Instant Retrieval storage class
