Manage Buckets
The Manage Bucket page allows you to control and maintain your StorageRaya bucket, CloudRaya’s S3-compatible object storage service.
From this page, you can review bucket details, update configuration settings, manage access credentials, and perform administrative actions safely and intentionally.
This page is designed for day-to-day operational management of buckets in both production and development environments.
View Bucket Details
The bucket overview provides essential information about your StorageRaya bucket, including:
- Bucket Name
- Region (Cloud Zone)
- Endpoint URL Used by applications, SDKs, and S3-compatible CLI tools to access the bucket.
- Storage Usage Displays current usage relative to the configured Bucket Limit.
- Access Key (ID) Shown for reference only. The Secret Key is not displayed after creation.
- Current Charges The current hourly cost based on the configured Bucket Limit.
- Bandwidth Usage Tracks outbound bandwidth only. Inbound (upload) traffic is not counted.
- Over Bandwidth Usage beyond the free bandwidth quota, if any.
- Creation Date
- Expiration Date (if configured)
This information helps you validate bucket status, monitor usage, and integrate the bucket with applications or services.
Bucket Settings
Bucket Settings control how your bucket behaves, how it is accessed, and how storage usage is limited.
File Listing
Controls whether object listings are accessible.
- Restrict File Listing Prevents object listing access. Recommended for private or application-only buckets.
- Enable File Listing Allows object listing when public browsing is required.
Bucket Limit
Defines the maximum storage capacity for the bucket.
- Set a numeric value (in GB), minimum 1 GB
- This value is drawn from your account's shared bucket storage pool. See Storage FAQs for the current pool size.
Bucket limits help control storage growth and manage cost.
Expiration Date
Optionally define an expiration date for the bucket.
- When the date is reached, the bucket is deleted automatically
- Useful for temporary workloads, testing environments, or time-bound projects
All setting changes take effect immediately after clicking Update.
Request Unlimited Quota
If a bucket needs more storage than your account's shared pool allows, you can request an unlimited quota for that specific bucket directly from the panel instead of contacting support.
- From the bucket's more actions (⋯) menu, select Request Unlimited Quota
- Confirm the request in the dialog that appears
- You'll see a confirmation once the request is submitted
CloudRaya reviews each request before approving it. While a request is pending, Request Unlimited Quota is disabled for that bucket until the review is complete.
Once a bucket is approved for unlimited quota, its Storage Usage shows Unlimited instead of a fixed limit. This applies per bucket, not to your whole account. Other buckets keep using the shared pool unless they are also approved.
Reset Access Key
Access keys are used by applications and tools to authenticate with StorageRaya.
What Happens When You Reset
- A new Access Key and Secret Key are generated
- The previous credentials are immediately revoked
- Any application using the old credentials will lose access
Common Reasons to Reset Keys
- Credential exposure or compromise
- Routine security rotation
- Ownership or access changes
After resetting keys, update all applications, scripts, and integrations that use this bucket.

Delete Bucket
Deleting a bucket permanently removes the bucket and all stored objects.
This action is destructive and irreversible.
Before deleting a bucket, ensure:
- No active applications depend on it
- Required data has been backed up
- External integrations have been removed
📄 See: Delete Bucket
Operational Best Practices
- Restrict file listing unless public access is required
- Rotate access keys periodically
- Apply bucket limits to control cost
- Monitor storage and bandwidth usage
- Use expiration dates for temporary or test buckets
- Verify no production workloads depend on a bucket before deletion
