Listing Objects

On OBS Console, when you go to the object list page of a bucket, objects are displayed by name by default. You can also sort objects by their size or last modification time.

Listing Objects on OBS Console

  1. In the navigation pane of OBS Console, choose Object Storage.
  2. In the bucket list, click the bucket you want to operate to go to the Objects page.
  3. View the displayed objects. All objects in the bucket will be listed and each page has 50 objects displayed by default.
  4. (Optional) If versioning is enabled for a bucket, you can enable or disable Historical Versions above the object list to determine whether to display historical versions of objects.

    • If Historical Versions is enabled, current and historical versions of objects (including deleted objects) are displayed.
    • If Historical Versions is disabled, only current versions of objects are displayed.

Listing Objects with OBS Tools

  • Bucket-level operations on OBS Browser+ are similar to those on OBS Console. You can list objects by following the instructions on OBS Browser+. For details about OBS Browser+, see Introduction to OBS Browser+.
  • The Java, Python, C, .NET, Node.js and Android SDKs all can be used to list objects in a bucket.
  • To use the command line tool obsutil to list objects in a bucket, see Listing Objects Using obsutil.
  • To call an API to list objects in a bucket, see Listing Objects in a Bucket.

Important Notes

  • Listing objects by specifying a page number is not allowed.
  • Objects cannot be listed by time when they were uploaded. You can search for objects by prefix only. For details, see Searching for an Object or Folder.
  • The size and last modification time in the object list sort only objects on the current page.
