Upload Your First Object | ibee

This guide walks through creating a bucket, generating API credentials, and uploading your first object — first from the portal, then from the AWS CLI.

Before you begin

An active IBEE Solutions organization with a verified account
(Optional) The AWS CLI installed locally if you want to upload programmatically

1. Create a bucket

In the portal, click Object Storage in the left sidebar under Products, then click + Create Bucket at the top right of the Object Storage page.

Fill in the Create Bucket dialog:

Field	Value
Bucket Name	3–63 characters, lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens only (e.g. `my-first-bucket`).
Location	Automatic (Asia Pacific) for the closest available region, or Specify jurisdiction to pin to a specific country.
Storage Type	`Standard`.
Advanced options	Optional. Enable Object Lock here if you need immutability — it cannot be added later.

Click Create Bucket. A confirmation toast appears: “Bucket created successfully” and the bucket appears in the list.

See Buckets for the full create-bucket reference.

2. Upload an object from the portal

Click your new bucket from the Object Storage list to open it. The bucket page has three tabs: Objects, Metrics, Settings.

On the Objects tab, click Upload in the top right. Drag and drop a file onto the upload area, or click Select Files.

The uploaded object appears in the list with its Type, Storage Class, Size, and Modified date.

The portal accepts files up to 300 MB each. Upload larger files with an S3-compatible client (step 4), which uses multipart upload automatically.

See Objects for full upload, download, and detail-page reference.

3. Create API credentials

For S3-compatible tools you need an S3 credential for the workspace that holds your bucket.

In the portal sidebar, click API Tokens under Organization, open the S3 Credentials tab, and click Create S3 Credential. (On the Object Storage page, the S3 API Credentials button takes you to the same tab.)

Give the credential a Name, select the Workspace, and choose a permission level (e.g. Admin Read & Write). For Object Read & Write or Object Read only, also pick Apply to all buckets in the selected workspace or Apply to specific buckets only.

Click Create Credential and copy the values immediately — the Secret Access Key is shown only once:

Credential	Use
Access Key ID	S3-compatible tools
Secret Access Key	S3-compatible tools — shown once, copy now
S3 Endpoint	The workspace endpoint, `https://{workspaceId}.blob.ibeestorage.com`

See API Credentials for rotation, scoping, and revoke.

4. Upload from the AWS CLI

Configure a profile with your credentials:

aws configure --profile ibee
# AWS Access Key ID:     AKIA...
# AWS Secret Access Key: <your-secret-access-key>
# Default region:        us-east-1
# Default output:        json

Upload an object:

echo "hello, IBEE" > hello.txt
aws --endpoint-url https://{workspaceId}.blob.ibeestorage.com \
    --profile ibee \
    s3 cp hello.txt s3://my-first-bucket/

Verify and download:

# List
aws --endpoint-url https://{workspaceId}.blob.ibeestorage.com \
    --profile ibee \
    s3 ls s3://my-first-bucket/
# Download
aws --endpoint-url https://{workspaceId}.blob.ibeestorage.com \
    --profile ibee \
    s3 cp s3://my-first-bucket/hello.txt ./hello-copy.txt

Next steps

Bucket Policies

Make a bucket public, scope access by API token.

Lifecycle Management

Automate object expiry and storage-class transitions.

Presigned URLs

Share time-limited links for upload or download.

Mount a Bucket as a Filesystem

Use a bucket like a local directory with s3fs or rclone.
