Buckets

A bucket is the top-level container of the S3-compatible Object Storage based on Ceph RGW. In the Storage app, open Object → Buckets in the left sidebar to create, view, and manage buckets, and to upload, download, and delete the objects (files) inside them.

Selecting Buckets in the sidebar shows the buckets you have access to. You can search for a bucket or create a new one at the top.

• Search: Filters buckets by attributes such as name.
• Sort: The default order is newest first. Click a column header to change the sort.
