# Using with Ocean Nodes Dashboard

#### 1. Find a Node

Go to the **Leaderboard** page or **My Profile** and find the node you want to use for storage and compute. Click **Node info** to open its details page.

#### 2. Open the Remote Storage Tab

Inside the node details page, navigate to the **Remote Storage** tab. This tab lists all buckets you have created on this node.

#### 3. Create a Bucket

Click **Create bucket**. A dialog opens with three access options:

**No access list (owner-only)**

The bucket is locked to your wallet. No one else can list, upload, or delete files. This option cannot be upgraded to shared access later.

**New access list**

Creates a new ERC-721 access list contract on the fly. Add the wallet addresses of anyone you want to share the bucket with. They will receive a soulbound token that grants them read and write access.

**Existing access list**

If you already deployed an access list contract (e.g., via the CLI), check **Existing access list** and paste the contract address.

> **Note:** You cannot attach a new access list to a bucket after it has been created. Choose the right option upfront.

Click **Create bucket** to confirm. The new bucket appears in the list.

#### 4. Upload Files

Click on the bucket to open its file browser. The bucket is empty when first created. Click **Upload file**, select a file from your system, and confirm. The file appears in the list once uploaded.

Note the **bucket ID** shown in the dashboard you will need it to reference files in your algorithms.

#### 5. Delete Files

Inside the bucket file browser, click the delete icon next to any file to remove it. The change is immediate.

#### 6. Manage Access

If your bucket has an access list, you can add or remove members from the bucket details view. Adding a wallet mints a token to that address; removing burns it.
