Upload Your First Object

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 Cloud project 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 Infrastructure, then click + Create Bucket at the top right of the Object Storage page.

Fill in the Create Bucket dialog:

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.

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

3. Create API credentials

For programmatic access you need an API token scoped to Object Storage.

In the portal sidebar, click API Tokens under Tools → + Create Token. Give the token a Name, check Object Storage, choose a permission level (e.g. Admin Read & Write), and pick Apply to all buckets in this project or Apply to specific buckets only.

Click Create Token and copy the credentials immediately — the Secret Access Key is shown only once:

Your project’s S3 endpoint is https://{project_id}.blob.ibeestorage.com.

See API Tokens 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://{project_id}.blob.ibeestorage.com \
>
    --profile ibee \
>
    s3 cp hello.txt s3://my-first-bucket/

Verify and download:

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