Uploading a File or Folder

Background Information

Files are uploaded in multiparts on OBS Browser. OBS Browser supports the upload of a single file with the maximum size of 48.8 TB.

OBS Browser supports resumable transfer. If the upload task is suspended or fails, restart the task. According to the part information recorded in the task, the successfully uploaded parts will not be uploaded again, and other parts will be requested for uploading.

If batch upload is required for tens of thousands of objects, it is recommended that you use obsutil. For details, see Uploading an Object

Procedure

1. Log in to OBS Browser.
2. Click the bucket to which the file or folder will be uploaded.
3. Click Upload. The Upload Object dialog box is displayed. For details, see Figure 1.

   You can select either files or folders to upload. For details, see 4 and 5.

4. Click Select File. The local file browser dialog box is displayed. Select the file that you want to upload and click Open.

   You can upload a maximum of 500 files or folders at a time.

   

   If the files that you want to upload to OBS are stored in Microsoft OneDrive, it is recommended that the names of these files contain a maximum of 32 characters to ensure compatibility.

5. Click Select Folder, select a folder, and click OK.
6. Select a storage class. If no storage class is selected, the object inherits the bucket storage class by default.
7. Incremental Upload: If this function is enabled, an object is compared with its namesake object (if any) in the bucket before upload. The comparison includes object size, content, modification time, and other properties. The object is uploaded to overwrite the namesake object in the bucket only when any of these properties changes. Otherwise, the upload is skipped. If this function is disabled, no comparison is conducted before the upload, namesake objects are overwritten by the newly uploaded ones.
8. Click OK to upload the file or folder.

Related Operations

You can modify the storage class of the object after uploading the file or folder.

1. Log in to OBS Browser.
2. In the bucket list, click the bucket name.
3. Select the target object and choose More > Change Storage Class on the right.
4. Select the desired storage class and click OK.
5. In the displayed dialog box, click OK to close the dialog box.

• Objects can be changed from Standard to the Infrequent Access or Archive storage class, or from Infrequent Access to the Standard or Archive storage class. Archive objects must be restored before they can be changed to the Standard or Infrequent Access storage class. Changing from Infrequent Access or Archive to other storage classes incurs restore fees. Select an appropriate change option based on your actual needs.
• When the storage class is changed to Archive, the object restore status changes to Unrestored.
• You can also configure a lifecycle rule to change the storage class of an object. For details, see Lifecycle Management Overview.
