## Supported transfers in the same AWS Region
<a name="working-with-locations-same-region"></a>

There are no restrictions when transferring data within the same AWS Region (including [opt-in Regions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/accounts/latest/reference/manage-acct-regions.html)). For more information, see [AWS Regions supported by DataSync](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/datasync.html).

## Supported transfers between AWS Regions
<a name="working-with-locations-cross-regions"></a>

Note the following when transferring data between [AWS Regions supported by DataSync](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/datasync.html):
+ When transferring between AWS storage services in different AWS Regions, one of the two locations must be in the Region where you're using DataSync.
+ You can't transfer across Regions with an NFS, SMB, HDFS, or object storage location. In these situations, both of your transfer locations must be in the same Region where you [activate your DataSync agent](activate-agent.md).
+ With AWS GovCloud (US) Regions, you can:
  + Transfer between the AWS GovCloud (US-East) and AWS GovCloud (US-West) Regions.
  + Transfer between an AWS GovCloud (US) Region and commercial AWS Region, such as US East (N. Virginia). This type of transfer requires an [agent](agent-requirements.md) when transferring between Amazon EFS or Amazon FSx file systems.

**Important**  
You pay for data transferred between AWS Regions. This transfer is billed as data transfer out from the source to destination Region. For more information, see [AWS DataSync Pricing](https://aws.amazon.com/datasync/pricing/).

## Determining if your transfer requires a DataSync agent
<a name="datasync-transfer-requirements"></a>

Depending on your transfer scenario, you might need a DataSync agent. For more information, see [Do I need an AWS DataSync agent?](do-i-need-datasync-agent.md)
