Bucket Options

The Bucket Options section of the Cloud Management Portal empowers users to perform essential file operations and control access, visibility, and organization of objects stored within buckets. This module allows you to rename, move, download, delete, share, and update access policies of your stored files, as well as modify bucket-specific settings.

This section outlines the available actions and configuration options to help you effectively manage your buckets and their contents.

  • You’ll be redirected to the Object Storage Dashboard.

  • Click on the Buckets tab to view all existing buckets under your account.

Managing Bucket Settings​

To manage settings at the bucket level:
