File managers

Graphical tools such as file managers allow you to view objects in a bucket by simulating a hierarchical directory structure.

Before you start working with file managers, you need to create an authorized account or make sure it exists, as well as the availability of data on the key ID and secret key.

You can create an account in the "Accounts" menu of the "Object Storage" service using the "Add account" button.

When you create an account, you will be provided with data that you want to save. After closing the window, it will be impossible to restore the Secret Key, however, if you lose it, you can create a new account or add a new secret key to an existing account.

s3fs allows Linux and macOS to mount an Cloud Storage bucket via FUSE. s3fs maintains its own object format for files, allowing you to use other tools such as the AWS CLI.

Installation

Many systems provide ready-made packages:

Amazon Linux via EPEL:

Copy
sudo amazon-linux-extras install epelsudo yum install s3fs-fuse

Arch Linux:

Copy
sudo pacman -S s3fs-fuse

Debian 9 and Ubuntu 16.04 or newer:

Copy
sudo apt install s3fs

Fedora 27 or newer:

Copy
sudo dnf install s3fs-fuse

Gentoo:

Copy
sudo emerge net-fs / s3fs

RHEL and CentOS 7 or newer via EPEL:

Copy
sudo yum install epel-releasesudo yum install s3fs-fuse

SUSE 12 and openSUSE 42.1 or newer:

Copy
sudo zypper install s3fs

macOS via Homebrew:

Copy
brew cask install osxfusebrew install s3fs

Connection

To mount a bucket in an operating system, you should:

1. Save the key ID and private key in the ~/.passwd-s3fs file in the format <key_identifier>: <secret_key>, and also restrict access to the ~/.passwd-s3fs file:

   Copy
   echo <key_identifier>: <secret_key>> ~ / .passwd-s3fschmod 600 ~ / .passwd-s3fs

2. Select the directory where the bucket will be mounted and make sure you have permission for the mount operation.

3. Run a command of the form:

   Copy
   s3fs <package_name> / mount / <path_to_folder> -o passwd_file = ~ / .passwd-s3fs -o url = http: //hb.vkcs.cloud -o use_path_request_style

Disk-O: - a program that allows you to work with clouds in one place - on your computer. At the same time, files do not take up space on the device, because they are stored only in the clouds. The program works with Cloud Storage, as well as platforms such as: Cloud Mail.ru, Yandex.Disk, Google Drive, Dropbox and other storages.

The program should be installed using the standard user interface of the operating system, as well as the installation file from the official website .

Connection

To connect, add the Cloud Storage service, then enter the account and bucket data:

Where:

• Storage: predefined storage class of the Object Storage service - Cold data or Hot data
• Bucket: the name of the existing bucket
• Access Key: Key identifier obtained when creating an Object Storage account
• Secret Key: the secret key obtained when creating an Object Storage account

As a result, the bucket will be mounted as an additional disk in the operating system and will not use local space.
