Create a storage

To create a storage:
  1. In the Gcore Customer Portal, click Add new storage in the top-right corner of the screen.
  2. Specify the storage name and location. The location name has two elements: the storage type (Object Storage or SFTP) and the city/region where the data center is located. SFTP locations are added/removed from the list automatically depending on the amount of free storage space available.
Please note: You can create a maximum of 3600 storages per account.

​
Object storage

Please note two limits for Object Storage:
  1. You can create a maximum of 1000 buckets.
  2. You can place maximum 10M objects in one bucket. However, we recommend placing no more than 100K objects so storage performance and availability are higher. If you want to place more than 100K objects, we recommend storing them in different buckets.
To create an Object Storage, specify its name and location, and click the Create button. In the next window, you will see both access and secret keys. Copy and save them since you’ll see the keys only once.
Create a storage
The created storage will appear in the storage list. To see its information (location, hostname), click the Details button. If you have forgotten to copy the keys and want to change them, click the Generate new keys button. The Delete storage button automatically deletes all the files in your storage.

SFTP

To create an SFTP storage, specify name, location, and preferred authentication method: SSH key or password. Once the storage is created, you will be able to use both.
create an SFTP storage,
To see the hostname, click the Details button (use port 2200 to connect to the storage). Password can be set, removed, and updated. To add new keys (up to 5 per storage) or limit access to the uploaded ones go to the SSH keys manager.
Dropdown
To set an alias or regulate the Expires header value, click Edit. Specify a domain name (subdomains are okay too) in the Server alias field, and add the following record to your DNS settings: CNAME < server_name>.<host>. For example, if your server name is 12345-test, and it is located in Amsterdam, the record would look like CNAME 12345-test.ams.origin.gcdn.co. Expires header can be modified via the “Expires” field. The default value is a year.

Storage status indicator

Circles on the left from the storage IDs are status indicators. After creation or settings update (adding keys or changing password), it might take time for the requests to get processed. Orange color indicates a processing state, while green one shows that the storage is ready.
