Buckets, objects, regions, endpoints — the building blocks.

#### [Upload Your First Object](/docs/infrastructure/object-storage/upload-your-first-object)

Create your first bucket, generate API credentials, and upload an object.

#### [Buckets](/docs/infrastructure/object-storage/buckets)

Containers for objects — settings, policies, lifecycle, CORS, custom domains.

#### [Objects](/docs/infrastructure/object-storage/objects)

Upload, download, lock, and presign objects.

#### [Mount a Bucket as a Filesystem](/docs/infrastructure/object-storage/mount-a-bucket-as-a-filesystem)
