tip

The following operation methods are only applicable to the public COS of the project. For managing your private COS, please use third-party software.

Before we get started

• If you haven't sign up for a user account, please sign up for TWSC first.
• If you would like to operate with TWSC portal, please first sign in to TWSC portal.
• If you would like to operate with TWCC CLI, please install TWCC CLI first, and then sign in.

Create buckets

Follow the steps below to create a bucket. Once the bucket is created, you can upload your files to the bucket and create folders to manage files.

TWSC Portal

• Select Cloud Object Storage (COS) from the service list, enter the Cloud Object Storage Management page, and click ＋CREATE.

• Enter a name for the bucket and click OK. Please note that the name of the bucket must be unique. It must be between 1 and 16 characters of lowercase English letter or digits. The first character must be a letter.

• When the bucket is created, it will show on the top of the list. Click the list to enter the Bucket Details page and begin to use it.

TWCC CLI

• Create a bucket named bk_cli

twccli mk cos -bkt bk_cli

Delete buckets

caution

Before deleting the bucket, please check whether the bucket has been emptied or backed up; once the bucket is deleted, all the data in the bucket will be deleted and cannot be restored.

TWSC Portal

• To delete an unnecessary bucket, click the menu button on the right of the bucket list, and then click DELETE.

• To avoid accidental deletion, please enter the name of the bucket to confirm the deletion.

TWCC CLI

• Delete the empty bucket bk_cli1

twccli ls cos -bkt bk_cli1
twccli rm cos -bkt bk_cli1

• Delete the non-empty bucket bk_cli2

twccli ls cos -bkt bk_cli2
twccli rm cos -bkt bk_cli2 -r
