Object Names

Unlike other resources, objects do not have Oracle Cloud Identifiers (OCIDs). Instead, users define an object name when they upload an object.

Use the following guidelines when naming an object:

  • The maximum length for an object and bucket name is 255 characters.

  • Valid characters are letters (upper or lower case), numbers, and characters other than line feed, carriage return, and NULL.

  • Bucket names and object names are case-sensitive.

  • Use only Unicode characters for which the UTF-8 encoding does not exceed 1024 bytes. Clients are responsible for URL-encoding characters.

  • Make the name unique within the bucket.

  • Object names can include one or more forward slash (/) characters in the name. See Object Naming Prefixes and Hierarchies.
