Step 4: Manually upload objects to your S3 Express One Zone directory bucket

You can also manually upload objects to your directory bucket.

To manually upload objects

  1. Sign in to the Amazon Web Services Management Console and open the Amazon S3 console at https://console.amazonaws.cn/s3/.

  2. In the navigation bar on the upper right corner of the page, choose the name of the currently displayed Amazon Web Services Region. Next, choose the Region associated with the Availability Zone in which your directory bucket is located.

  3. In the left navigation pane, choose Directory buckets.

  4. Choose the name of the bucket that you want to upload your folders or files to.

    Note

    If you chose the same directory bucket that you used in previous steps of this tutorial, your directory bucket will contain the objects that were uploaded from the Import tool. Notice that these objects are now stored in the S3 Express One Zone storage class.

  5. In the Objects list, choose Upload.

  6. On the Upload page, do one of the following:

    • Drag and drop files and folders to the dotted upload area.

    • Choose Add files or Add folder, choose the files or folders to upload, and then choose Open or Upload.

  7. Under Checksums, choose the Checksum function that you want to use.

    Note

    We recommend using CRC32 and CRC32C for the best performance with the S3 Express One Zone storage class. For more information, see S3 additional checksum best practices.

    (Optional) If you're uploading a single object that's less than 16 MB in size, you can also specify a pre-calculated checksum value. When you provide a pre-calculated value, Amazon S3 compares it with the value that it calculates by using the selected checksum function. If the values don't match, the upload won't start.

  8. The options in the Permissions and Properties sections are automatically set to default settings and can't be modified. Block Public Access is automatically enabled, and S3 Versioning and S3 Object Lock can't be enabled for directory buckets.

    (Optional) If you want to add metadata in key-value pairs to your objects, expand the Properties section, and then in the Metadata section, choose Add metadata.

  9. To upload the listed files and folders, choose Upload.

    Amazon S3 uploads your objects and folders. When the upload is finished, you see a success message on the Upload: status page.

    You have successfully created a directory bucket and uploaded objects to your bucket.
