This appears to be a bug in the generator-loopback module. I have sent a PR to fix:https://github.com/strongloop/generator-loopback/pull/180

In the meantime, you can update datasources.json manually, as suggested in the docs, e.g.:

"myfile": {
   "name": "myfile",
   "connector": "loopback-component-storage",
   "provider": "amazon",
   "key": "your amazon key",
   "keyId": "your amazon key id"
 }
