| + | Object storage is a computer data storage architecture that manages data as objects, as opposed to other storage architectures like file systems which manages data as a file hierarchy, and block storage which manages data as blocks within sectors and tracks. Each object typically includes the data itself, a variable amount of metadata, and a globally unique identifier. | ||

| Object Storage was designed to store very large amounts of unstructured data, i.e. data accessible with a unique ID and not through a complex structure with hierarchical folders. This structure allows you to access easily and very quickly all your static content such as photos, videos, text files, HTML and CSS web pages, etc. Access to your objects is performed using a standard HTTP API, meaning you can safely access your files easily from anywhere as authentication is usually required. | Object Storage was designed to store very large amounts of unstructured data, i.e. data accessible with a unique ID and not through a complex structure with hierarchical folders.
