# 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](/docs/en/archivestorage-dlo-slo).

              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.

## Create a container (bucket)

To create a container (bucket), follow these steps:

1. On NAVER Cloud Platform console, click **Menu** > **All Services** > **Storage** > **Archive Storage** in order.
2. Click the **[Create container (bucket)]** button.
3. Enter the name of the container (bucket) when the popup window appears.
  - You can enter 3 to 30 characters.
  - You cannot change the name of the bucket once created.
  - The bucket name is used as the domain for the objects.
  - The bucket name must be unique within NAVER Cloud Platform account.
4. Click the **[Save]** button.

## Delete container (bucket)

The container (bucket) that is not used can be deleted. When you delete a container (bucket), files stored in the container (bucket) are permanently deleted and cannot be recovered. To delete a container (bucket), follow these steps:
