# Storage Access Configs
* **Global Configs**
* The Global Config section is used to define key directories and paths that ShyftSearch needs to operate correctly. Proper configuration ensures that all services including the master, worker, and temporary storage — can access the required files and execute tasks efficiently.
* **Cloud Connection Creation & Testing**
* This section allows you to **create and manage connections** with various cloud platforms and object storage services. These connections serve as **data sources or destinations**, enabling seamless integration with ShyftSearch.
#### 🔧 **Supported Cloud Platforms**
* Amazon Web Services (AWS)
* Microsoft Azure
* Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
* **Other Object Storages** (S3-compatible, like minio, etc.)
