To allocate storage on AWS:

• Open the Amazon S3 console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/s3/.
• In the Amazon S3 console, click Create Bucket.
• In the Create a Bucket - Select a Bucket Name and Region dialog box, in the Bucket Name box, enter a bucket name.

The bucket name you choose must be unique across all existing bucket names in Amazon S3. After you create a bucket, you cannot change its name.

For this guide, select a bucket name between 3 and 63 characters long, composed of lowercase letters and numbers. In this guide we use example123, but you will need to use a unique bucket name of your own choosing.

• In the Region box, select a geographic region that is close to you.
• When the settings are as you want them, click Create.

When Amazon S3 successfully creates your bucket, the console displays its name in the All Buckets pane. This bucket is where you'll upload your files.

To upload a File

• In the Amazon S3 console, select the bucket that you previously created to contain your files. In our example, we will select the example123 bucket.

• Click Actions, and then click Upload.

• In the Upload - Select Files dialog box, click Add Files.

• In the File Upload dialog box, select files to upload. In order to stay within the limits of the free usage tier, the total size of the files you upload should be less than 5 GB.
• Click Open.
• In the Upload Select Files dialog box, click Start Upload.

• When your files have finished uploading, they will appear as shown in the following image.
