+#### Can I use a _s3:_ or _gs:_ URL with `cellxgene launch`?
+
+Yes. Support for S3 and GCS is not enabled by default. If you wish to directly access S3 or GFS, install one or both of the following packages using `pip`:
+
+- [s3fs](https://s3fs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) for S3 support
+- [gcsfs](https://gcsfs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) for GCS support

+For example:
+
+```
+pip install s3fs
+cellxgene launch s3://mybucket.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/mydata.h5ad
