# Getting your S3 bucket name

Depending on the region and other settings, LIBSAFE Advanced keeps your data container inside a particular S3 Bucket. All data containers in your instance may use the same S3 bucket or not.

To obtain the **Bucket Name** associated to the data container you want to use, follow this process:

## Using the LIBSAFE Advanced Management Interface <a href="#using-the-libsafe-go-management-interface" id="using-the-libsafe-go-management-interface"></a>

Go to the container you would like to upload to in the Management Interface and get the **bucket name** in the **Storage** section.

## Using the API <a href="#using-the-api" id="using-the-api"></a>

Alternatively, you can get the same information with the following method:

```
$ curl --request GET \
      --url "$your_platform_url/api/container/{your container id}" \
      --header "authorization: Bearer $your_platform_api_key"
```

and locate the bucket name:

The path for every file in the container is formed with:

```
s3://{S3 bucket name}/{container id}/{path to your file}
```

For example:

```
s3://LIBSAFE Advanced-acme/5/myfile.txt
```
