Buckets

Create buckets, browse objects, quotas, lifecycle rules, versioning, Object Lock, and deletion workflows.

The Buckets page lists every bucket on your account, with size, object counts, and management actions.

Navigation: e3 Object Storage → Buckets

Bucket list

Each bucket card shows:

• Name and owner (Root user or User)

• Browse — open the Bucket Browser (requires access keys for that owner)

• Size and object count (refreshed from storage backend)

• Pending deletion badge when a delete job is queued

Use Create Bucket to add a new bucket.

Create Bucket

Field	Notes
Bucket Name	Globally unique; lowercase letters, numbers, hyphens.
Select Bucket Owner	Root user or a User — only that owner’s keys can access the bucket.
Enable Versioning	Retain multiple versions of objects.
Enable Object Locking	WORM / immutability support.
Set a default retention policy	Optional at create time. Leave off unless you need bucket-wide default retention (Veeam and similar apps often manage locks per object).

See Versioning and Object Lock.

Overview tab (per bucket)

• Versioning — enabled or disabled.

• Object Lock — status when enabled at creation.

• Quota — usage bar when a quota is configured; click to open quota settings.

Management tab (per bucket)

Bucket quota

Open the gear icon in Bucket quota to set max storage and/or max objects. See Configure e3 Bucket Quotas.

Lifecycle rules

• Create rule — open the lifecycle editor.

• Refresh — reload the rule list.

• Edit / Delete on each rule.

Rules support expiration, noncurrent version expiration, delete markers, multipart abort, prefix/tag/size filters, and transitions when storage classes are available. See Lifecycle rules.

Delete or empty a bucket

Use the delete action on the bucket card.

Non-Object Lock buckets

You can empty the bucket (background job) or delete the bucket when it is fully empty:

• No current objects

• No object versions or delete markers (if versioning was used)

• No in-progress multipart uploads

The delete modal shows counts and CLI examples if manual cleanup is needed.

Object Lock buckets

Deletion is restricted while retention or legal hold protects versions. The modal explains blockers and links to guidance. You must clear holds or wait for retention to expire before those versions can be removed.

Deleting a bucket or account is permanent once protections are cleared and the delete job completes.

Browse

Click Browse to open the Bucket Browser for that bucket.
