Sharing Objects with Anonymous Users Using URLs

Prerequisites

Anonymous users have the read permission for the object.

For details about permission granting, see Granting All Accounts the Read Permission for Certain Objects.

Encrypted objects cannot be shared.

Procedure

1. In the navigation pane of OBS Console, choose Object Storage.
2. In the bucket list, click the bucket you want to operate. The Objects page is displayed.
3. Click the object to be shared. On the top part of the page, you can find the object's sharing link in the Link area.

   Anonymous users can access the object by clicking this link. An object link (URL) is in the format of https://Bucket name.Domain name/Directory level/Object name. If the object is stored in the root directory of the bucket, its URL does not contain any directory level. To learn more about domain names, see OBS Domain Names.
