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.
