Create a Bucket | ibee | Documentation

A bucket is the top-level container for objects in IBEE Object Storage. Create a bucket before uploading any files or assets.

Before you begin

An active IBEE Cloud project
A verified account (Verify your account)

1. Go to Object Storage

In the IBEE Cloud portal, click Object Storage in the left sidebar under Infrastructure.

This opens the Object Storage page at portal.ibee.ai/a/{project_id}/cloud-storage/object-storage.

2. Create a bucket

Click + Create Bucket.

Enter a Bucket Name and click Create Bucket.

3. Confirm

Your new bucket appears in the Object Storage list showing its object count and size.

Verify

After creation, your bucket is listed on the Object Storage page with the following columns:

Column	Description
Buckets	Bucket name
Objects	Number of objects stored
Size	Total storage used

The usage panel at the right of the page shows:

Metric	Unit
Total Storage	MB / GB
Total Buckets	count
Total Objects	count
Bandwidth Egress	B / MB / GB

Click your bucket to open it. You will see three tabs: Objects, Metrics, and Settings.

Bucket naming rules

Bucket names must:

Be between 3 and 63 characters long
Start and end with a lowercase letter or number
Contain only lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens (-) — dots (.) are not allowed
Be globally unique across the entire platform

	Example
✅ Valid	`my-bucket`
✅ Valid	`data-store-01`
✅ Valid	`project-assets`
❌ Invalid	`My-Bucket` — uppercase not allowed
❌ Invalid	`-startwithdash` — cannot start with a hyphen
❌ Invalid	`endswithdash-` — cannot end with a hyphen
❌ Invalid	`bucket_with_underscore` — underscores not allowed
❌ Invalid	`project.assets` — dots not allowed
❌ Invalid	`ab` — too short (minimum 3 characters)

Troubleshooting

Bucket name rejected Check that your bucket name follows all naming rules — lowercase only, hyphens only (no dots or underscores), must start and end with a letter or number, between 3 and 63 characters.

Bucket name already taken Bucket names are globally unique across the platform. Choose a different name.
