# IDrive e2 IDrive e2 is an S3-Compatible object storage solution. The ExpanDrive integration with IDrive e2 allows you to connect to the service with a minimum of configuration. ## Connection Parameters ### Server This is the address at which the service can be reached. Every user in IDrive e2 has [their own unique region end-point](https://www.idrive.com/s3-storage-e2/region-endpoints) with access keys specific to those region end-points. ### Access Key The access key is your unique identifier for authentication. Keys can be generated from the Access Keys tab of the IDrive e2 account. ### Secret Key The secret key is your private authentication key that pairs with your access key. This is like a password. When you save your connection info in ExpanDrive, the secret key is [securely stored](/security.md#authentication) within your local keychain. ### Nickname The nickname serves to identify the connection. This name will show up as the volume label on the mounted drive. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
