Object storage buckets · Storage

Create buckets, upload files, share links, versioning, object lock, lifecycle and CORS.

Create a bucket

Open Object Storage and choose Create bucket.

Name it: 3 to 63 lowercase letters, numbers and hyphens. Names are shared by every ByteNests customer and cannot be changed.

Choose access: Private (only signed requests and share links) or Public read (anyone with a file URL can download it).

Choose protection: Versioning keeps older copies when a file is overwritten or deleted. Object lock makes files impossible to change or delete for a set time; it can only be turned on now and needs versioning.

Optionally set a size limit, an object limit, and delete files after a number of days.

You pay for what you store, download and request. Uploads are free. Downloads from a public bucket count as your egress.

Files

Open a bucket to upload (drag files in; files over 100 MB upload in parts automatically), create folders, download, delete, and edit a file’s content type and Cache-Control. Show versions lists older copies when versioning is on.

Share link makes a download link for one file that expires after 1 hour, 24 hours or 7 days. The bucket stays private.

Bucket settings

Limits: Size and object limits. You get an email at 80% and 95%; at 100% uploads are refused and reads keep working.

Lifecycle rules: Delete files under a prefix (for example logs/) after a number of days. Rules run once a day.

CORS rules: Let web pages on other domains load or upload files in the browser. Edit in the form or as JSON.

Access and versioning: Switch between private and public read, and turn versioning on or off.

Danger zone: Empty the bucket, or delete it once it is empty.

Usage

Usage shows storage, egress and requests per day and per bucket, so you can see what drives the bill.
