Bucket folder

Available in Classic and VPC

You can link NAVER Cloud Platform's Object Storage in Media Connect Center's bucket folder and classify the media files saved in the bucket by media service to manage them systemically. You can set sharing standards and use links to share with collaborating colleagues. You can set and manage sharing of the folders (files) you have added yourself or been given access.
The Bucket folder menu is a feature available after you register buckets in use in NAVER Cloud Platform's Object Storage. Previously, managing media files had to be done at Object Storage, and media file encoding and streaming channel setting had to be done at VOD Station. Now you can perform those tasks at once in the integrated environment of Media Connect Center easily and conveniently through the registration.

Object Storage registration

You should register (add) an Object Storage bucket in use to Media Connect Center in order to use the bucket folder. Their concepts are connected, so any work done at Media Connect Center is reflected in the NAVER Cloud Platform console's Object Storage. The works done in the NAVER Cloud Platform console's Object Storage are also reflected in the bucket folder at Media Connect Center. Registering (adding) Object Storage to Media Connect Center is available after you request subscription to Media Connect Center in the console. For guidance on detailed usage, please see My Products.
Even if you didn't register the bucket at the time of subscription request in the console, you can click the [Request subscription to Object Storage] button, which appears when you click the Manage content > Bucket folder menu at the left side of the Media Connect Center screen. This will let you carry out one-stop registration from requesting subscription to Object Storage to the actual registration.
