# Create a Bucket in Stratus

Let's now create a bucket in Stratus. This folder stores the files that you upload in the client application. We will configure the synchronization between this bucket and a folder in WorkDrive.

To create a Bucket:

1. Navigate to **Catalyst CloudScale Stratus** component in the console. Click **Create Bucket**.

> **Note:** Provide a custom name for your bucket. You will not be able to use same name that provided in the demonstration, as a bucket can only be creted if its name is globally unique.

2. Enter the bucket's name, ensure that the Permission Template is set as Authenticated and click **Create**.

The bucket will be created and displayed in Stratus.

#### Configure Permissions

Similar to the Data Store, you must enable permissions for object download, upload, and delete to all [users](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/authentication/user-management/users/introduction/) of the role _App User_. This will allow any authenticated user to upload, download, or delete files from the client.

1. Click on the **Bucket Permissions** tab and click the **Edit Permission** button.

2. Copy the following JSON and paste it in the Permissions section, and click **Update**.

```json
{
    "rules": [
        {
          "rule_id": "AuthenticatedBucket_Rule1",
          "condition": {
              "user": {
                  "auth_type": "authenticated",
                  "zuid": "*"
              }
          },
          "allowed_actions": [
              "GetObject",
              "PutObject",
              "DeleteObject"
          ],
          "paths": [
              "zylkerworkdrivesync1::/*" // replace with your bucket path
          ],
          "effect": "allow"
      }
    ],
    "version": "v1"
}
```
