Before you can upload objects to Object Storage Service (OSS), you must create a bucket. You can configure a variety of attributes for a bucket, including the region, access control list (ACL), and storage class. You can create buckets of different storage classes to store your data.
Usage notes
- When you create a bucket, you are charged only for the storage of objects in the bucket and the traffic generated when the objects are accessed. For more information, see Overview.
- The capacity of the bucket is scalable. You do not need to purchase the capacity before you use the bucket.
Limits
- You can use an Alibaba Cloud account to create up to 100 buckets in the same region.
- A bucket name must be globally unique within OSS. For more information about the naming conventions of buckets, see Bucket naming conventions.
- After a bucket is created, you cannot modify its name, region, storage class or redundancy type.
- OSS does not impose limits on the capacity of a bucket.
Use the OSS console
Use ossbrowser
ossbrowser allows you to perform bucket management operations that you can perform in the OSS console. You can follow the on-screen instructions in ossbrowser to create a bucket. For more information about how to use ossbrowser, see Use ossbrowser.
Use OSS SDKs
The following code provides examples on how to create a bucket by using OSS SDKs for common programming languages. For more information about how to create a bucket by using OSS SDKs for other programming languages, see Overview.

Use ossutil
For more information about how to create a bucket by using ossutil, see mb (create buckets).
Use the RESTful API
If your program requires more custom options to create buckets, you can call RESTful API operations. In this case, you must manually write code to calculate the signature. For more information, see PutBucket.

After you create a bucket, you can upload objects to the bucket. For more information about how to upload objects, see Simple upload.
- Download objects
After you upload objects to a bucket, you can download the objects to the default download path of your browser or the specified local path. For more information about how to download objects, see Simple download.

You can share the URLs of uploaded objects with third parties for downloads or previews. For more information about how to share objects, see Share objects.

- Access control
By default, the ACL of OSS resources is private to ensure data security. Only the owners of the resources and authorized users can access these resources. OSS allows you to configure a variety of policies to grant third-party users specific permissions to access or use your OSS resources. For more information about access control, see Overview.
