# S3

The S3 browser turns object storage into a familiar file-manager view.

## Navigate

Browse your **buckets**, then move through **prefixes** as if they were folders. Kira resolves the correct region for a bucket automatically, so you can open buckets from anywhere in the account. A deep link like `kira://s3/bucket?...&bucket=<name>&prefix=<dir/>` opens a bucket at a specific prefix (see [Navigating Kira](/user-guide/navigation.md#deep-links-kira)).

## Work with objects

| Action            | Notes                                                     |
| ----------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Preview**       | Inspect an object's contents directly in the app.         |
| **Download**      | Save an object to your Mac.                               |
| **Upload**        | Add files to the current prefix.                          |
| **Copy**          | Copy objects to another location (including bulk copies). |
| **Rename**        | Rename an object.                                         |
| **Delete**        | Remove objects (supports deleting several at once).       |
| **Create folder** | Add a new prefix.                                         |

You can open a single object directly with `kira://s3/object?...&bucket=<name>&key=<objectKey>`.

{% hint style="warning" %}
S3 deletes are permanent unless the bucket has versioning enabled. Double-check the bucket and prefix before deleting, especially when removing several objects at once.
{% endhint %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.kira.thiennguyen.dev/user-guide/s3.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
