Scenario

By default, when uploading a file to a bucket, its storage type aligns with that of the bucket. However, you can specify a different storage type for the file during the upload process or modify it manually afterward. Alternatively, you can configure lifecycle policies to change the storage type. For more information, see Lifecycle Management.

Restriction and Limitations

• Once a bucket is created, its storage type cannot be changed. Files uploaded to the bucket adopt its storage type by default.

• To transition files from Archive to Standard or Infrequent Access (IA), unfreeze them first.
