Create a Bucket

This guide walks through creating a new storage bucket from the NexQloud console.

Prerequisites

• A NexQloud account
• Object Storage service enabled for your account

Bucket Naming Rules

Bucket names must follow these rules (S3-compatible naming standard):

• 3–63 characters in length
• Lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens only
• Must start and end with a letter or number
• Must be globally unique across your account

Valid examples: my-app-assets, backup-2024, media-files

Invalid examples: -my-bucket (starts with hyphen), My-Bucket (uppercase), ab (too short)

Creating a Bucket

1. Log in to the NexQloud Console
2. Navigate to Object Storage in the sidebar
3. Click Create Bucket

4. Enter a bucket name following the naming rules above
5. The console checks name availability automatically — wait for the green "Bucket name is available" confirmation

6. Click Create Bucket

Your bucket is created instantly and you are redirected to the bucket details page.

After Creation

Once created, your bucket is ready to use:

• Upload objects via the dashboard file picker
• Generate access keys for programmatic access via boto3 or aws-cli
• View metrics including object count and total size

Next Steps

• Upload & Manage Objects — add files to your bucket
• Manage Access Keys — create S3-compatible credentials
• Use the S3 API — connect with boto3 or aws-cli
