Creating a Folder

This section describes how to create a folder using OBS Browser.

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.
