DreamObjects cluster migration
DreamHost is currently in the process of migrating all DreamObjects accounts to a new hardware platform.
Please review this article to identify the cluster your DreamObjects account currently resides on and the features it supports.
Overview
Objects are files that are uploaded into DreamObjects.
Using the Object Viewer to view objects in a bucket
To use the Object Viewer:
- Navigate to the DreamObjects page in your DreamHost panel.
- Click the View Objects button under your username.
- After you click the button, the Object Viewer loads a list of your buckets.
- Click the bucket name in the left panel. This lists your folders and objects within that bucket, and also shows four control buttons at the bottom.
The Object viewer in the panel is only able to display 5000 objects at a time.
Click the LOAD MORE OBJECTS button to display the next 5000 objects.
The control buttons on the bottom left corner allow you to:
- Switch Bucket — Look at the contents of a different bucket
- Reload Bucket — To see the changes (added or removed objects) to the bucket
- Reload Folder — Reloads the current folder you’re viewing
- Upload Objects — Upload a new Object to the bucket
Other ways to view Objects
You can also use third-party applications to connect to DreamObjects and view or upload objects.
