It can be used when data needs to be stored for a long period to meet compliance requirements, such as for medical information, manufacturing information management, or financial transaction records; when managing tape-based remote backups is burdensome; or when large volumes of data need to be stored 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. ## Archive Storage features Archive Storage offers these key features: - High durability and reasonable cost: Archive Storage provides high durability with NAVER Cloud Platform's know-how in data loss prevention.

If you cannot find the answer to your question in the following FAQs, search the user guides for what you want to know. 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 or download of objects from the console? In the console, the maximum size of an object that can be uploaded is 1 GB, and the maximum size of an object that can be downloaded is 2 GB. Objects larger than these can be uploaded and downloaded with API by referring to [SDK document](https://guide.ncloud-docs.com/docs/en/archivestorage-javasdk). 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. Caution 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 differences among Archive Storage usage permissions that can be managed by Sub Account?
