Container and file management

Available in Classic and VPC

This page describes the Archive Storage screen configuration and how to create and manage a container (bucket) as well as how to upload and download files to and from a container (bucket). In NAVER Cloud Platform's console, you can only upload files up to 1 GB and download files up to 2 GB. When you need to upload or download bigger files, see Large file management.

Area Description
① Create a container (bucket) A button that creates a new container (bucket)
② Check API usage information A button that checks the required domain ID and project ID when using API
③ Container (bucket) list List of created container (bucket)
④ Post-creation features File uploading and downloading after creating container (bucket), creating a new folder, deleting files and folders, and canceling file or folder deletion in the middle of the deleting process
⑤ Search window Search for data stored in the container (bucket) based on folder or file names
⑥ File list Check the list or information of the files stored in a container (bucket)
Caution

If the number of objects in a single container exceeds 1 million, performance degradation occurs when using console and APIs. If the number of objects in a container is maintained under 1 million, you can minimize storage performance delay. For additional uploads, we recommend creating a new container.
