# Getting started with FlashEdge Storage

After creating a FlashEdge account, you can simply start the process of creating FlashEdge Storage.

## Creating the first FlashEdge Storage

Complete the following steps to create FlashEdge Storage:

1. Sign in to the FlashEdge Console.
2. Click on an arrow before “Deploy Resources” on the home page, or click “Add FlashEdge Storage”.
3. Fill in the Bucket Name.
4. Specify the desired region for optimal latency and availability.
5. Click on "Continue".
6. Either select "Manual connection later" or, if you already have a CDN zone where you want to connect.
7. Review and click on “Create Storage”.

When you select "Manual connection later" FlashEdge Storage isn't automatically connected to a FlashEdge CDN zone. You have to create FlashEdge CDN distribution.
