Deleting One or More Folders or Files

You can easily remove one or more folders or files (or all folders and files) from a bucket. All objects in a folder are deleted when the folder is deleted.

1. Select the folder(s) and/or file(s):
   You can click the select icon in the list header to select all folders and files.
2. Click .
3. Select Delete.
4. A message reminds you of the Wasabi storage policy and asks you to confirm that you want to delete the folder(s) and/or file(s). Click DELETE to confirm.

Making Folders and/or Files Public

You can make one or more folders and/or files (or all folders and files) available so that anyone can access them through the Internet without permissions from these URLs:

• [bucketname].[serviceURL]/[path/filename]
• [serviceURL/[bucketname]/[path/filename]

Refer to the Wasabi Knowledge Base for service URLs for different regions.

1. Select the folder(s) and/or file(s):
   You can click the select icon in the list header to select all folders and files.
2. Click .
3. Select Make Public.

When you make a folder public with this option, all files in the folder are made public. This feature is intended as a one-time setting, which overrides the status settings for individual files within the folder. If files are later uploaded into the folder, they are automatically uploaded as private. You may want to consider using a bucket policy to automatically set the status of files to be public (Bucket Policy).

You can change the status of a folder or file with an option on the Folder or File Details panel (Making Folders and/or Files Private and Reviewing Folder Details).

Accessing Folder Details

Making a Folder Public or Private

You can make a folder (and all files within the folder) available so that anyone can access it through the Internet without permissions from these URLs:

• [bucketname].[serviceURL]/[path/filename]
• [serviceURL]/[bucketname]/[path/filename]

Refer to the Wasabi Knowledge Base for service URLs for different regions.

1. Click the folder icon .
2. On the Folder Details panel, slide to enable the Make Folder Public option.
3. You may see a message indicating that making large quantities of objects public (or private) can be inefficient. If you plan to modify more than 10,000 objects, Wasabi recommends that you use a bucket policy or update ACLs using the CLI. Click CONTINUE after considering this warning.
4. If you are making the folder public, another warning is displayed. It indicates that the selected objects will be public and accessible by anyone who has Read permissions. Click OK to accept this condition.

When a folder is public, the Folder Details appears as:

Reviewing File Details

You can review file details and then manipulate the file (rename, make public/private, link, download, copy the path, or delete).

Accessing File Details

1. Click anywhere (except ) in the row of the file for which you want details.

   

   You can review the file details (file name, size, date/time last modified, and version identification number if versioning is enabled). Additional tools are provided, as described in this article.

2. Click X to close the File Details panel.

Renaming a File

You can change the name of a file.

1. On the File Details panel, click  to the right of the file name on the File Details panel.
2. Enter a new name for the file.

   Avoid the use of the following special characters in a file name:
   % (percent)
   < (less than symbol)
   > (greater than symbol)
   \ (backslash) # (pound sign)
   ? (question mark)

   Certain file names may have non-ASCII characters that are 4 byte UTF8 characters (such as emojis). Wasabi does not support these characters and will return a 400 error message to an application that tries to write a file with 4 byte UTF characters in the file name. We recommend renaming the affected files, if possible.
3. Optionally, check the box to overwrite any existing file that uses the name to which you are renaming.
4. Click RENAME.

Making a File Public or Private

You can make a file available so that anyone can access it through the Internet without permissions from these URLs:

• [bucketname].[serviceURL]/[path/filename]

Sharing a File with a Presigned URL

You can share an object for up to 12 hours or until your session expires. To share, you create a presigned URL, which uses security credentials and lets you grant time-limited permission to download the object through a browser or application.

2. Enter the number of hours and minutes for which the file will be shared.

   

3. Click Create Presigned URL.
4. A message shows the URL created for this object. Be sure to copy the URL before closing this window. Once this window is closed, you will not be able to copy the presigned URL again.

   

5. Click Close.

Deleting a File

You can easily remove a file from a bucket.

1. On the File Details panel, click the DELETE FILE button.
2. A message prompts you to confirm that you want to delete the file indicated in the message.
   The DELETE FILE button deletes only the file listed on the File Details panel. If you want to select multiple files for deletion, use the Delete option on the More Options menu (see Deleting One or More Folders or Files).
