Downloading or previewing objects using MCG object browser

Learn how to download or preview objects using the Multicloud Object Gateway (MCG) object browser.

Before you begin

  • Administrator access to Fusion Data Foundation.
  • Make sure MCG cluster is deployed and noobaa-endpoint-* pod is running in the MCG namespace.

Procedure

  1. In the OpenShift Web Console, click Storage > Object Storage.
  2. Click the Buckets tab and select the required bucket.
  3. Select the Objects tab.
  4. In the options menu corresponding to the required object, select either Download or Preview based on your requirement.
    Note: Preview is a browser dependent feature, which means that if a browser does not recognize the file or the object’s type or extension, such as .zip, .rar, and so on, and unable to display it in a separate tab, then the file or the object is downloaded by default.
