Getting a download link
If you have a public bucket, its objects are always available even if no website hosting is configured for the bucket. You can get a link by following this guide or generate one yourself. Read more about the link format.
If you have a bucket with restricted access, Object Storage allows you to generate a pre-signed URL to an object. Anyone who receives this link can download the object even from a bucket with restricted access. You can read more about pre-signed URLs, their generation, and their use here.
Note
If the bucket has an access policy in place which bans creating pre-signed URLs, you will not be able to create a link.
- In the management console, select the folder.
- Select Object Storage.
- Click the name of the bucket you need.
- Click the object name.
- Click Get link in the top-right corner.
- For a bucket with restricted access, specify the link Lifetime in hours or days (the maximum time is 30 days).
- Click Get link.
- Copy the link.
Note
You cannot extend the validity period of a pre-signed URL to an object in a bucket with restricted access. If the URL has expired, generate a new one.
