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 create a folder in an object storage bucket

Create a logical folder (prefix) within an object storage bucket to organize objects. Folders in object storage are not real directories; they are a naming convention that the console and many clients treat as folders. You can create nested folders.

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 existing object storage bucket: see Create an object storage bucket
For S3-compatible CLI and API: S3 credentials configured

Create a folder#

Go to Storage > Object Storage.
Select the bucket.
Optionally navigate into an existing folder to create a nested folder.
Select Create Folder. The Create Folder dialog opens with a read-only Bucket Name field that displays the parent bucket.
Enter a name in the required Folder Name field.
Select OK.
