Link all of your DreamObjects buckets
You can link any number of DreamHost storage buckets to odrive. Each of your buckets can be accessed through odrive as a separate link. Select to link DreamHost storage for each bucket you have and enter the following information:
NAME - Name to identify your storage link in odrive
BUCKET NAME - Must match your storage bucket name.
ACCESS KEYID - Enter your DreamHost Key
SECRET ACCESS KEY - Enter your DreamHost Secret
DIRECTORY STRUCTURE - Use Simple '/' Delimited for a bucket with existing data (see FAQ below)
FAQ
How do I get started with DreamObjects Storage?
Sign up here. Then create a DreamObjects user, bucket, and key from the DreamObjects page. See their knowledge base article for more information.
Can I connect to an existing DreamHost storage bucket with existing content?
Yes. Please note that you will need to use the simple '/' delimited directory storage option to connect.
What is the Enhanced odrive FS directory structure?
If you don't have an existing storage bucket to link to yet, you can choose to use the Enhanced odrive FS directory structure option to connect
to your bucket (anyone else connecting to this DreamObjects bucket in the future should use the same option).
You will notice improved performance, particularly on file move and rename operations. Always use odrive to access your Enhanced odrive FS bucket--your files will still technically be accessible using non-odrive applications, but the file and folder names will be encoded in such a way that it will be more difficult to browse around.
If you have an existing DreamObjects bucket with preexisting data in it (or if you plan on accessing the bucket from applications other than odrive), use the Simple '/' Delimited directory structure instead.
What is the Simple '/' Delimited directory structure?
You will notice improved performance, particularly on file move and rename operations. Always use odrive to access your Enhanced odrive FS bucket--your files will still technically be accessible using non-odrive applications, but the file and folder names will be encoded in such a way that it will be more difficult to browse around.
If you have an existing DreamObjects bucket with preexisting data in it (or if you plan on accessing the bucket from applications other than odrive), use the Simple '/' Delimited directory structure instead.
Information is stored into the storage bucket in the same way that DreamObjects normally stores its information. By using a '/' character in the
file's key, a directory structure can be simulated. That way, when you browse the bucket using the DreamObjects management console (web client) or with a third-party app,
you see a file folder structure.
Unless you need to use the Simple '/' Delimited directory structure, we recommend using the Enhanced odrive FS directory structure option for best results.
How much does storage on DreamHost cost?
Unless you need to use the Simple '/' Delimited directory structure, we recommend using the Enhanced odrive FS directory structure option for best results.
See DreamHost's object storage page for pricing details.
Is there a file size limit?
DreamHost has stated that the file size limit is 10 TB when uploading through a client such as odrive. Uploading through the DreamObjects own web client interface has a 64MB limit.
What regions are available through DreamHost? Can I keep my buckets outside of the US for compliance purposes?
DreamHost currently has only one datacenter location in Ashburn, VA with hostname objects-us-east-1.dream.io. If data sovereignty is a concern, you can still consider using odrive with other infrastructure storge providers.
