Object storage is organised as buckets → folders → files. The Storage screen opens on your list of buckets; tap one to browse inside it.
Finding a bucket
Each bucket shows the region it lives in. If your buckets are spread across regions, use the region bar at the top to narrow the list. A bucket opens correctly wherever it lives — its contents are always read from its own region.
Don't see a bucket you expect? Check the region filter first, then pull down to refresh. A bucket you just created or deleted can take a moment to appear or disappear, because the provider's bucket list is eventually consistent.
Browsing files
Inside a bucket, folders are listed first (each marked 📁), then files. Tap a folder to open it. The breadcrumb under the title shows where you are, and each part of it is tappable to jump back up. The back arrow steps up one folder, then out to the bucket list.
Downloading a file
Tap a file and choose Download. It is fetched and handed to your device's share sheet, so you can save it to Files, open it in another app, or send it on. A line shows while it downloads.
Uploading a file
Tap Upload file, pick a file from your device, then confirm where it goes. The destination defaults to the current folder plus the file's name — edit it to rename the file, or include / to drop it into a sub-folder.
Creating folders and buckets
- New folder makes an empty folder in the current location.
- New bucket creates a bucket. On providers that don't tie a bucket to a fixed region (see below), you'll choose the region first.
Deleting
- A file — tap it and choose Delete.
- A folder — long-press it and confirm. Everything inside is removed.
- A bucket — long-press it in the bucket list. The bucket must be empty first, and you'll be asked to type its name to confirm. Deleting a bucket cannot be undone.
If a button is missing
Upload, New bucket, New folder and the delete actions appear only when your connection has read/write access and the provider supports them. A read-only connection shows the same screen without those buttons. To gain write access, re-add the connection's credential with read/write in Settings → Connections.
Details that differ by provider
The screen works the same way everywhere, with a few exceptions:
- Microsoft Azure addresses a container as
account / container. The storage account appears as a small line above the container name in the list, and — since the account is already your connection — it's left out of the breadcrumb once you're inside. - Linode and DigitalOcean buckets aren't bound to a fixed region, so the first time you create one, the New bucket dialog asks you to pick a region.
- List-only actions — if a provider's API doesn't expose creating or deleting buckets, folders or files, those buttons stay hidden even on a read/write connection.
