Its still the same issue/error. - dvc add -v --external s3://dataset/wine-quality.csv Does the above command also use locally configured AWS S3 configuration and not DVC remote configurations. config, [core] remote = s3remote [cache] s3 = s3cache [‘remote “s3remote”’] url = S3://dataset endpointurl = http://{XYZ}:9000/ access\_key\_id = user secret\_access\_key = password use\_ssl = false [‘remote “s3cache”’] url = s3://dataset/cache/ endpointurl = http://{XYZ}:9000/ access\_key\_id = user secret\_access\_key = password use\_ssl = false This is my Minio bucket structure I have, ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex035/uploads/dataversioncontrol/original/1X/e9427f622d6a5828e9a505bad6b60b02124f1fa6.png) PS: I’m using remote hosted Minio server to connect. --- _[View the full topic](https://discuss.dvc.org/t/dvc-add-external-s3-mybucket-data-csv-is-failing-with-access-error-even-after-giving-correct-remote-cache-configurations/726)._
