Terminologies

Bucket

Buckets are containers for storing objects. Each private key/account can manage up to 1000 storage containers.

Object

An Object is a basic unit for storing data. Unlike traditional file systems, objects do not have the hierarchical relational structure of a file directory. An object includes data, metadata, and fid.

Data

User's data includes but is not limited to high-definition pictures, audio, video, and backup files in websites and applications

Fid

The file hash used to retrieve an object. The server and user can find an object through Fid without knowing the physical address of the data. It is the globally unique identifier (UID) of the object.

Metadata

Metadata is similar to data labels. There is no limit to the type and the number of items on the label, which can be various descriptions of objects.
