Uploading an Object Storage Object to a Bucket

Upload an object to a bucket or folder in Object Storage.

To upload objects larger than 64 MiB, the Console uses multipart uploads. You need OBJECT_CREATE and OBJECT_OVERWRITE permissions to perform multipart uploads. For details, see Object Storage Multipart Uploads and Details for Object Storage, Archive Storage, and Data Transfer.

Use the prefix option to prepend a prefix value to any object's name that you upload to the bucket. You can use the prefix to search the bucket for only those objects whose names match the prefix. For example, if you included the prefix "test" during an object upload, all the included objects names are prepended with that prefix value. An object named "my-object.txt" is uploaded to the bucket as "testmy-object.txt."

See Object Naming Using Prefixes and Hierarchies for more information about creating prefixes for objects.

See Searching for Objects in a Bucket for more information on how to search for objects in a bucket using the prefix option.
