Get your access key

In order for everpano 3D to access your Amazon Web Services (AWS) account, the Access Key and the Secret Access Key are required. The Access Key and the Secret Access Key are not your standard user name and password, but are special tokens that allow the app to upload the projects to your S3 buckets.

To find your Access Key and Secret Access Key:

1. Log in to your AWS Management Console.
2. Click on your user name at the top right of the page.
3. Click on the My Security Credentials link from the drop-down menu.
4. Click on Create new access key.
5. Click on the Show access key, and copy the Secret Access Key, or download a csv file.

What can not be done

everpano 3D is obviously not a S3 manager, so there are some options that can not be achieved from with in the app, like creating users, assigning specific polices to buckets, and most important what can not be done from the app, is deleting. We created a simple yet powerful bridge to easily upload your projects to industry-leading web service provider.

What do I need

Some users may think they may need to configure an extra EC2 instance to upload a zip to S3 and then unzip it, or maybe some extra software, but the answer is, definitely NO, you just need your aws account and your everpano 3D app License. With that you can start uploading your projects at the speed of the light. We have performed some big upload test with the next results :
