# Oversight Mounting Buckets

Oversight's Mounting Buckets (MB) lets you use your own storage and keeps your data private. No uploads needed! MB streamlines data access for a smoother experience.

### Setup

1. Mount your Bucket following the guide here <https://wiki.cloudfactory.com/docs/userdocs/projects/mounting-buckets/mounting-buckets-tutorial>
2. Save the Bucket Credential Id as you will be using this for creating Oversight task.

### Usage

1. When using a mounted bucket for sending tasks to CloudFactory, add the Credential ID to the field bucket ID.
2. Add the Media key within the storage media to the field <mark style="color:blue;">media\_key</mark>

**NOTE**: If Bucket\_id is not provided, it will be assumed that bucket mounting is not being used and media has already been uploaded to CloudFactory through the Upload Media API.
