For example, `https://<YOUR_HOSTNAME>/images/file.jpg` will map to `https://<BUCKET_NAME>.s3.amazonaws.com/images/file.jpg`.
    - **URI path-style URL**: Set the hostname to `s3.amazonaws.com`. Here, your bucket must include a folder named `images`, and files should be placed inside this folder. The URI path will then include the bucket name, like `https://<YOUR_HOSTNAME>/<BUCKET_NAME>/images/file.jpg` mapping to `https://s3.amazonaws.com/<BUCKET_NAME>/images/file.jpg`.

 This setup will route all traffic matching `http*://<YOUR_HOSTNAME>/images/*` (HTTPS and HTTP requests) to your S3 bucket. Make sure to replace `<YOUR_HOSTNAME>` with your actual hostname and adjust the example paths according to your setup.

+Cloud Connector will not apply any of the following configurations:
+
+- **Cache content served from storage bucket**: To define custom cache behavior — like when to cache returned objects and for [how long](/cache/how-to/cache-rules/settings/#edge-ttl) — you will need to create a [cache rule](/cache/how-to/cache-rules/). For an example rule configuration, refer to [Cache Level (Cache Everything)](/cache/how-to/cache-rules/examples/cache-everything/).
+
+- **Create URL rewrites**: To adjust the URL structure from what your website visitors use to obtain a resource and the folder structure being used in the storage bucket, you will need to create a [URL rewrite](/rules/transform/url-rewrite/). For example, you could create a URL rewrite to remove the `/files` prefix from URI paths before routing the request to your object storage bucket. For an example configuration, refer to [Rewrite path for object storage bucket](/rules/transform/examples/rewrite-path-object-storage/).
