Hi!

First, thank you for rclone, it’s a wonderful piece of software that I use daily.

It would be great to add an optional S3 parameter in the config, in the following format as suggested by [this post:](https://forum.rclone.org/t/specify-bucket-or-bucket-and-sub-directory-for-s3-in-config-file/29888)

```auto
[S3WorkConfiguration]
type = s3
provider = AWS
access_key_id = <id>
secret_access_key = <key>
region = us-east-2
location_constraint = us-east-2
acl = private
storage_class = STANDARD
bucket = work-configuration

```

With this, if the S3 user only has access to one bucket, we wouldn’t need to create an alias just for it. When using environment variable configuration or connection strings, this would make things much simpler.

Thanks, and have a great day!

seems a niche feature.  
the alias remote works for S3, sftp and all other storage systems.
