Space (bucket)high

Naming differs: users create a “Space” that is a bucket, and each bucket has a unique URL (virtual-hosted or path style), whereas Swift uses containers within an account namespace. ().
Bucket addressing uses S3-style endpoints such as `${BUCKET}.${REGION}.digitaloceanspaces.com` (and `${REGION}.digitaloceanspaces.com/${BUCKET}`), which differs from Swift’s account/container/object path conventions. (, ).
Access keys can be scoped to high-level permission tiers (Read, Read/Write/Delete, All) applied across buckets/objects, which differs from Swift’s typical tenant/user + container ACL model. ().

S3 API (PUT Bucket requires specific headers like x-amz-acl limited to private/public-read, LocationConstraint); Swift uses POST/PUT Container with broader ACLs via X-Container-Read/Write.
Public access via https://bucket.location.your-objectstorage.com/object; Swift public via temp URLs or ACLs.
Up to 100 buckets per account; Swift has no hard limit.

How to access an uploaded file in object storage

Download or view a file stored in an object storage bucket. For public buckets, you can also reach files through a direct URL without authentication.

Prerequisites

ConsoleLogged in to the Quake AI console
CLIOpenStack CLI installed and authenticated (clouds.yaml or openrc sourced)
APIAPI token generated with $OS_TOKEN and service endpoint variables set

Windows: CLI examples use bash. Set up a Linux CLI environment on Windows before proceeding.

An object storage bucket containing at least one uploaded file
For S3-compatible CLI and API: S3 credentials configured

Download or view a file#

Go to Storage > Object Storage.
Select the bucket containing the file.
Navigate to the folder if needed.
On the file's row, open the Settings gear icon dropdown and select Download File. The same dropdown also exposes Edit, Copy, Cut, Rename, and Delete for other per-file actions.

For public buckets, the Console shows a direct URL you can share or open in a browser.

Get the public URL for a file#

If you set the bucket to public read access, each object has a direct URL:

https://object.REGION.rumble.cloud/swift/v1/AUTH_PROJECT_ID/BUCKET_NAME/FILE_PATH

In public buckets, each object row lists a direct URL in the Access & Information column.
