How to upload files into a bucket

Reviewed on July 01, 2025

This page explains how to upload files into an Object Storage bucket using the Scaleway console. To upload an object using the Amazon S3 API, refer to the dedicated documentation.

Before you start

To complete the actions presented below, you must have:

• A Scaleway account logged into the console
• Owner status or IAM permissions allowing you to perform actions in the intended Organization
• An Object Storage bucket

1. Click Object Storage in the Storage section of the side menu. A list of your buckets displays.
2. Click the bucket name into which you want to upload your file.
3. Click the upload button, then select the files you want to upload into the bucket. Alternatively, you can drag and drop your files into the uploading area.
   Important

   Before uploading your files, make sure the file name is in accordance with the AWS S3 Object key naming guidelines.

4. Select the storage class of your object. Scaleway Object Storage allows you to associate storage classes with each of your objects.
   Important

   Do not close your web browser during an upload, as it can result in an incomplete upload. If you want to upload files larger than 1 GB, we recommend using the CLI.

   When the upload is completed, a list of the objects displays, including the newly uploaded objects.
