# Paperspace

## What is Paperspace?

Paperspace is a cloud computing platform that enables developers to create next-generation applications from within their web browser. Paperspace offers a variety of Machine Learning models and fully managed cloud GPU platforms for endless development environments. Paperspace allows you to use and store data on S3-compatible storage services such as Filebase.

Read below to learn how to use Paperspace with Filebase.

{% hint style="success" %}

### Prerequisites:

* [x] Download and configure [AWS CLI](https://docs.filebase.com/configurations/cli-tools-and-resources/cli-tools/aws-cli) for use with Filebase.
* [x] [Sign up](https://filebase.com/signup) for a free Filebase account. 
* [x] Have your Filebase Access and Secret Keys. Learn how to view your access keys [here](https://docs.filebase.com/getting-started-guides/getting-started-guide#working-with-access-keys).
* [x] Create a Filebase Bucket. Learn how to create a bucket [here](https://docs.filebase.com/getting-started-guides/getting-started-guide#creating-and-working-with-buckets).
  {% endhint %}

### 1. First, we need to configure our Filebase bucket to have a CORS policy that allows connection to Paperspace.

For more detailed information on CORS, check out our documentation [here.](https://docs.filebase.com/configurations/cli-tools-and-resources/cross-origin-resource-sharing-cors)

To do this, create a new file called `cors.json` with the following content:

```json
{
    "CORSRules":
[
    {
        "AllowedHeaders": [
            "*"
        ],
        "AllowedMethods": [
            "GET",
            "PUT"
        ],
        "AllowedOrigins": [
            "https://console.paperspace.com"
        ],
        "ExposeHeaders": [],
        "MaxAgeSeconds": 3000
    }
]

}
```

### 2. Next, apply this CORS policy to your Filebase bucket with the command:

`aws --endpoint https://s3.filebase.com s3api put-bucket-cors --bucket filebase-bucket --cors-configuration=file://cors.json`

### 3. To confirm the CORS policy was applied correctly, use the following command:

`aws --endpoint https://s3.filebase.com s3api get-bucket-cors --bucket filebase-bucket`
