Object Storage Service:How to modify, update, or edit a file?

Last Updated:Mar 20, 2026

OSS does not support in-place editing of objects. How you update an object depends on how it was uploaded.

Objects uploaded by standard upload

To update an object, upload a new version using the PutObject operation.

Objects uploaded by append upload

Append upload is the exception: you can add data to the end of an existing appendable object without re-uploading it.
