Creating a Folder

Background Information

Unlike the file system, OBS does not involve the concepts of file and folder. For easy data management, OBS provides a method to simulate folders. On OBS, an object is simulated as a folder by adding a slash (/) to the object name on OBS Browser.

Procedure

1. Log in to OBS Browser.
2. Click the bucket in which you want to create a folder. Click Create Folder.
3. In the dialog box that is displayed, enter a folder name and click OK.
   • You can create single-level or multi-level folders.
   • The name cannot contain the following special characters: \:*?"<>|+
   • The name cannot start or end with a period (.) or slash (/).
   • The absolute path of the folder cannot exceed 1023 characters.
   • Any single slash (/) separates and creates multiple levels of folders at once.
   • The name cannot contain two or more consecutive slashes (/).

4. In the dialog box that is displayed, click OK.
