Archive Storage is a service that provides large storage capacity for data to be kept for a long period of time. It can be used when you need to store data for a long period of time for compliance, such as medical information, manufacturing information management, or financial transaction history, and when you have a high management pressure for tape-type dissipative backups, or when you need to store large amounts of data for analysis. Archive Storage can be useful in conjunction with Object Storage for efficient management of resources by storing frequently used data in Object Storage and less frequently used data that requires long-term storage in Archive Storage.

Q. How many letters can I upload for an object name in Archive Storage?
The maximum length of an object name in Archive Storage is less than 215 letters. You cannot upload the object name longer than 215 letters.
Q. What is the maximum file size for upload/download of objects from the console?
Objects that are less than 2 GB can be uploaded or downloaded from the console. Objects larger than 2 GB can be uploaded and downloaded with API by referring to SDK document.
Q. The size of the downloaded object is different from the size showing on the console.
Depending on the OS you are downloading and viewing the object on, the size of file may vary. This happens as different OS calculates data in different ways. The actual size of object can be found in the content-length. If the actual downloaded file size is different from the file size displayed in the console, it doesn't necessarily mean there's something wrong with the object.
In Archive Storage, content-type of the directory (folder) object uses application/directory. It is also recommended not to use "/" at the end of the directory (folder) object name.
Q. What are the difference among Archive Storage permissions that can be managed by Sub Account?
All Sub Account that has access to Archive Storage are granted the same level of permissions as the main account, and the areas available by Sub Account policy (Role) and by Access types are different as follows:
Policy (Role) | Access Type | ||
---|---|---|---|
