Hivenet Object Storage stores files as objects in buckets. You can manage them in the console or connect an application, backup tool, or script through compatible Amazon S3 APIs.
Hivenet Object Storage is generally available to all organizations. Open Object Storage in the console to get started. If it is missing, check the active organization and contact Support.

​
Buckets, objects, and keys

  • A bucket contains objects and belongs to your organization.
  • An object contains file data and has a name, called its object key. A key such as backups/report.csv includes a prefix that helps organize objects.
  • An access key is a credential pair: an access key ID and a secret access key. Applications use this pair to sign requests.
An object key names data. An access key authenticates a client.

​
Who can access your data

Buckets and objects are shared across your organization. All members can see the bucket list, but you need an active key of your own to use bucket and object actions in the console. Creating a bucket does not make it private to its creator. Your organization’s access mode also determines which actions are available. Access keys belong to individual users within the organization. My keys shows your own keys, including when you are an organization owner or administrator. You can have up to two keys. Objects use server-side encryption. The console shows AES-256 as always on. The available storage region is displayed as EU. The console manages EU storage. US availability is planned for a later release. Cross-region replication and automatic failover are not available.

​
Choose how to work

Use a desktop browser for console tasks. The console supports multiple-file uploads and deletion, with downloads handled one object at a time. Use the AWS CLI or rclone to download many objects.

​
Connect through compatible S3 APIs

Hivenet Object Storage implements the operations listed in S3 compatibility. Compatibility applies to those operations; it does not imply support for every Amazon S3 feature or option. Clients must use the Hivenet endpoint, the signing region Europe, and explicit path-style addressing. See Connection settings before using an AWS example.

​
Billing

Self-service organizations pay from the same prepaid credit balance used by Compute and Hivenet Inference Service. Storage charges are deducted hourly. Direct customers with an invoicing agreement continue to receive monthly invoices after use; the €50 monthly minimum applies only to that arrangement. At a zero or negative balance, self-service storage changes to Read only or Disabled, depending on the organization’s configuration. Stored data continues to accrue charges; downloads are blocked in Disabled mode. Read Usage and billing for access restrictions, top-ups, and the seven-day deletion eligibility policy.
Uploading to an existing object key replaces the stored object. Treat replacement and deletion as permanent, and keep a separate copy of data you need to recover.
