@Marvin when I create a S3 Block in Prefect Cloud, what do I set as the bucket name?

Use the plain bucket name only — e.g.
my-data-bucket
. No
s3://
prefix, no ARN, and no folder paths. - Need a subfolder? Put it in the block’s “bucket folder”/default path field (if shown) or include it in your object keys when you read/write (e.g.,
reports/2025/run.json
). - Using MinIO or another S3-compatible service? Still just the bucket name; set the custom
endpoint_url
(and credentials/region) in the block’s client settings. Refs: - Blocks overview - Storing credentials/secrets
