This topic describes how to perform common operations to manage buckets and objects in ossbrowser 2.0, such as creating and deleting buckets, and uploading, downloading, previewing, copying, moving, and sharing objects.
Prerequisites
You have installed and logged on to ossbrowser 2.0. For more information, see Install ossbrowser 2.0 and Log on to ossbrowser 2.0.
Use cases
Upload and download large objects (larger than 5 GB).
By default, ossbrowser 2.0 uses multipart upload and resumable upload to upload objects. The maximum size of an object that can be uploaded is 48.8 TB. During the upload, ossbrowser 2.0 automatically splits the object into parts and merges them after the upload is complete.
ImportantIf you need to transfer large objects over a public network, we recommend that you use the ossutil 2.0 CLI.
Access a specific directory in a bucket by using an authorization code.
ossbrowser 2.0 supports logging on with temporary authorization codes. You can provide a temporary authorization code to a user to grant temporary access to a specific directory in your bucket. The code automatically becomes invalid after it expires. For more information, see Authorize objects.
