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 shown 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.
