Overview
Objects are the files you upload into DreamObjects. Each object is stored inside a bucket, and you can view, create, download, and delete objects from the DreamHost panel or with a compatible third-party application.
How do I view objects in a bucket with the Object Viewer?
To use the Object Viewer:
- Navigate to the DreamObjects page in your DreamHost panel.
- Click the View Objects button under your username. The Object Viewer loads a list of your buckets.
- Click the bucket name in the left panel. This lists the folders and objects within that bucket and shows four control buttons at the bottom.
The Object Viewer in the panel can only display 5000 objects at a time.
Click the LOAD MORE OBJECTS button to display the next 5000 objects.
The control buttons in the bottom-left corner let you do the following:
- Switch Bucket — Look at the contents of a different bucket.
- Reload Bucket — See the changes (added or removed objects) to the bucket.
- Reload Folder — Reload the current folder you are viewing.
- Upload Objects — Upload a new object to the bucket.
What other ways can I view objects?
You can also use third-party applications to connect to DreamObjects and view or upload objects.
How do I create an object?
You can create objects by uploading files with a compatible file transfer application.
What properties does an object have?
Click any object in your list to view the object's properties, which include:
- Object name
- Permissions — public or private, determined by use of credentials
- Size
- Last modified date
How do I download an object with the Object Viewer?
- Click the object you want to download.

You can send anyone the URL of the object so they can download it themselves.
