Save Files to Wasabi Object Storage

You can set up MASV to save files to Wasabi storage that you’re already using

You can set up MASV to save files to Wasabi object storage you’re already using:

• First, configure your Wasabi bucket. 
• Then, in the MASV Web App add a Cloud Integration and create a MASV Portal.

A Cloud Integration specifies how to connect MASV to a third-party cloud service. A Portal is a simple and easy way for your collaborators to send files to you, they don’t even need a MASV account. You can specify a Cloud Integration as the upload destination for a Portal.

All Portals have the format 

https://domain.portal.massive.app

where domain is unique for each Portal that you create. After you’re set up, you can start receiving files. Your collaborators can visit the Portal URL with their web browser or they can use the MASV Desktop app. To learn more, see How to Send Files Using MASV.

Only a MASV team owner or administrator may add a Cloud Integration and create a Portal. You only have to do this once to save files to your Wasabi storage.

Setting up Your Wasabi Bucket

Before you can receive files to save them to Wasabi, make sure your bucket has a Wasabi access key with a policy that gives MASV the permission to use the s3:AbortMultipartUpload, s3:DeleteObject, s3:ListBucket, s3:GetBucketLocation, and s3:PutObject actions. You can do this in the Wasabi Management Console.

Here’s an example of a policy that gives MASV permission to save files anywhere in a bucket named second-unit:

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "s3:AbortMultipartUpload",
                "s3:DeleteObject",
                "s3:ListBucket",
                "s3:GetBucketLocation",
                "s3:PutObject"
            ],
            "Resource": [
                "arn:aws:s3:::second-unit",
                "arn:aws:s3:::second-unit/*"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

You can restrict access in your policy for convenience to provide only relevant folders. Or you can do this for security, to limit access to specific folders. Here’s an example that limits access to save files in either the location-a or location-b folders in the second-unit bucket:

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "s3:ListBucket",
                "s3:GetBucketLocation"
            ],
            "Resource": [
                "arn:aws:s3:::second-unit",
                "arn:aws:s3:::second-unit/*"
            ]
        },
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "s3:AbortMultipartUpload",
                "s3:DeleteObject",
                "s3:PutObject"
            ],
            "Resource": [
                "arn:aws:s3:::second-unit/location-a/*",
                "arn:aws:s3:::second-unit/location-b/*"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

Adding a Cloud Integration for Wasabi Cloud Storage

With your Wasabi bucket ready, you can use the MASV Web app to add a Cloud Integration.

To add a Cloud Integration to save to Wasabi object storage:

1. Log-in or sign-up into your MASV account.
2. Select Cloud Integrations in the left sidebar.
3. Select Add Integration then choose Wasabi.
4. In Connection Name, give the integration a distinctive name. 
   To make it easier to find later, fill in the domain you’ll use for your Portal.
5. Fill in Bucket, Access Key ID, and Secret Access Key for your Wasabi bucket.
6. Enable Save to Cloud.
7. Fill in Target Directory with the folder in the bucket that you want to save to.
   This is optional. But if your policy limits access to specific folders in the bucket, then you must specify only one of these folders.
8. Select Connect.

Creating a Portal to Save to Wasabi Object Storage

With your Wasabi bucket and Cloud Integration, you can use the MASV Web app to create a Portal.

To create a Portal that saves to Wasabi object storage:

1. Select Portals in the left sidebar then select the + button to create a new Portal.
2. In the General and Look and Feel tabs, fill in the details for your Portal. See How do I create a Portal. 
3. In the Cloud Integrations tab, select the Cloud Integration you just created.
   You can select more than one integration that’s set up for storing files.
4. Select Create.
5. In the list of Portals, select the clipboard icon to copy the URL. 
   Now you can share the Portal URL with your collaborators. 

Saving Files Manually to Wasabi Object Storage

You can manually save files to Wasabi (or any other Cloud Integration) that you’ve sent or received. You can do this in the Web app’s Transfer History for any packages that haven’t expired.

To manually save a package to Wasabi:

1. Select Transfer History then Sent or Received  in the left sidebar.
2. Navigate to the package that you want to save.
3. In the dropdown menu in the Actions column, select Save Package to Cloud.
4. In the Select cloud integration dialog, choose your Wasabi integration.
5. Select Confirm.
6. In the progress dialog, select Close.
   You can leave this page since the transfer happens in the cloud, not your web browser.
