# Browse and share files
Source: https://docs.infraista.com/en/data-storage/object-storage/browse-and-share-files



The **Files** tab of a bucket is a file browser: no S3 tool needed for everyday tasks.

## Browse, upload and download [#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 [#share-a-file-with-a-temporary-link]

A share link lets anyone download one file, without an access key, until it expires.

1. In the file's actions menu, select **Create share link…**.
2. 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.
3. 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](/en/data-storage/object-storage/control-access).

## Restore an older version [#restore-an-older-version]

When [versioning](/en/data-storage/object-storage/bucket-settings#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 [#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**.
