Browse and share files
Upload, download, preview and delete files in a bucket from the console, restore older versions, and share a file with a temporary link.
The Files tab of a bucket is a file browser: no S3 tool needed for everyday tasks.
Browse, upload and download
Open the bucket and select Files.
- Open folders by name; the Folder path shows where you are. Search this folder filters by name.
- Upload or Upload folder adds files, or drop files and folders anywhere on the list. Uploads go straight to storage, with progress for each file.
- New folder creates a folder in the current one.
- Each file's actions menu offers Preview, Download, Create share link…, Copy path, Copy S3 URI, Details & tags and Delete. In a public bucket it also offers Copy public URL.
- Tick files to delete several at once. Deleting a folder deletes everything inside it; big folders finish in the background.
Share a file with a temporary link
A share link lets anyone download one file, without an access key, until it expires.
- In the file's actions menu, select Create share link….
- Choose how long it lasts: a quick pick (15 min, 1 hour, 1 day, 7 days) or your own days, hours and minutes. Links last at least 1 minute and at most 7 days.
- Select Create link and copy it.
To let someone upload to a key, or to sign a link with a specific access key, use Presigned URL on the Permissions tab instead. See Control access.
Restore an older version
When versioning is on, overwriting or deleting a file keeps the earlier version.
- Open a file's Details to see its Versions, then Restore one: it becomes the latest version, and the current one is kept as an older version.
- Show versions on a folder lists every version of its files, newest first. Restore file brings back a deleted file.
- Delete this version for good removes one version permanently.
Tags
Details & tags lets you add up to 10 key and value tags to a file, which lifecycle tools and scripts can use. Buckets can have up to 50 tags of their own, under Settings.

Control access to a bucket
Decide who can read a bucket. Switch between private and public read, write a bucket policy, and create presigned URLs to share or receive single files.
