Feature: Object Operations in Browser¶

When to use¶

Use this guide for object-level actions in Browser surfaces.

Open a browser surface and choose context/account.
Navigate to the target bucket and prefix.
On /browser, use the left buckets panel to switch bucket directly and inspect folders for the active bucket.
Non-active buckets stay collapsed; inaccessible buckets are dimmed until selected.
Use actions as needed:
Use the context menu for the full action set on the current path, object, or selection.
Use the toolbar More menu when right-click is not available or when the action bar is compact.
Use the inspector to access the same context and selection actions on the main /browser page.
Upload files
Download objects
Preview supported files
Delete objects or delete markers
Manage versions, restores, and advanced object operations
Use bulk actions when handling many objects.

Path actions include upload, folder creation, paste, versions, restore, cleanup, and copy path.
Selection actions include download, open, copy URL, copy, cut, bulk attributes, advanced actions, restore, and delete when the current selection allows them.
Long-running bulk actions surface in Operations overview, where queued, active, completed, and failed work stays visible without leaving Browser.
The toolbar More menu remains available in /manager/browser and /ceph-admin/browser, where the inspector is not shown.
Actions can be disabled for the current state. For example, Copy URL is disabled when SSE-C is active, and deleted items must be restored from versions before direct download or delete operations.

Object-level operations are executed with current context credentials and reflected immediately.

Note

Browser availability and operation sets depend on workspace browser flags and endpoint capabilities.
