# 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.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.flashedgecdn.com/flashedge-storage-tutorials/getting-started-with-flashedge-storage.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
