# Object Storage

> Browse, create, and manage object storage containers and files through the Xloud Dashboard.

## Overview

Navigate to **Storage > Object Storage** in the sidebar to manage containers and
objects. The object storage service provides scalable, replicated storage for
unstructured data like backups, media files, and static assets.

***

## Manage Containers

The container list shows: **Name**, **Size**, **Last Updated**, and a detail popover
with object count, storage policy, and public access URL.

**Create a container**: Click **Create Container**. Enter a **Name** (max 63 characters,
cannot be changed after creation) and toggle **Public Access** if objects should be
accessible via public URL.

**Actions**: **Access** (first action — toggle public access), **Delete** (More dropdown).

***

## Manage Objects

Click a container name to browse its contents. The file browser shows objects with
Name, Size, and Last Updated columns.

**Available actions**:

| Action                 | Description                                 |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| **Create Folder**      | Create a pseudo-folder (path prefix)        |
| **Upload**             | Upload files (max 1 GiB per file)           |
| **Download**           | Download individual files                   |
| **Edit**               | Replace file content (same filename)        |
| **Rename**             | Rename a file (copies and deletes original) |
| **Copy / Cut / Paste** | Move or copy files between folders          |
| **Delete**             | Delete files or empty folders               |
