<a name="working-with-locations-same-region"></a>

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

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

Note the following when transferring data between [Amazon Web Services Regions supported by DataSync](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/general/latest/gr/datasync.html):
+ When transferring between Amazon storage services in different Amazon Web Services 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).

**Important**  
You pay for data transferred between Amazon Web Services Regions. This transfer is billed as data transfer out from the source to destination Region. For more information, see [Amazon DataSync Pricing](https://www.amazonaws.cn/datasync/pricing/).

## Determining if your transfer requires a DataSync agent
