Object storage

Object storage gives you S3-compatible buckets, each with its own access keys, and a storage quota set by your plan. It runs on SeaweedFS and works with any S3 client.

Create a bucket#

1. 1

   New bucket

   On the Object storage page, click “New bucket” and give it a name.

2. 2

   Reveal access keys

   Click "Reveal access keys" (recorded in the audit log) to get the endpoint, bucket, access key ID, secret access key, and region. Treat the secret access key like a password.

Endpoint           https://…
Bucket             my-bucket
Access key ID      …
Secret access key  …
Region             us-east-1

Public or private#

Buckets are private by default. Toggle “Public access” to let anyone read objects over HTTP; Gheima then shows the public base URL. Rotate keys any time with “Rotate keys”.

Object browser#

Open a bucket to browse its objects. From the dashboard you can upload files, create folders (key prefixes), and open, download, rename, or delete objects.

Presigned URLs#

Click "Presigned URL" to generate a temporary link that downloads (GET) or uploads (PUT) one object without credentials. Choose an expiry of 15 minutes (the default), 1 hour, or 24 hours.

Good to know#

• Through the API, a presigned URL lasts 1 hour by default and up to 7 days.
• Folders are key prefixes. Deleting the last object in a folder removes the folder.
• A public bucket serves objects at its public base URL over HTTP.
• Stored bytes count against your plan’s storage quota.
