Every object (file/set of files) in the platform is preserved in a Data Container. Data Containers define the policies, functions, permissions and the underlying storage policy for the files they contain, and have many similarities with Amazon S3 buckets or Azure containers, as they can hold files, folders, metadata, etc.
It is possible to create a data container using the Go Management Interface or using the API:
Sign in to the platform's Management Interface
Select Containers
Select New Container: The New Container page opens.
In the Container name, enter a descriptive name for the content you plan to have in your container (like "Albert Einstein Papers"). This name allows you and other users to easily locate the container when using the Go Management Interface.
You can leave any other field as default and select Create. Go will now open the Data Container details page. If you plan to work with your Data Container using any of the file transfer methods Go supports or with the Go API, it is important that you remember the Data Container identifier, that is shown next to the Container name.
Sign in to the platform's Management Interface
Obtain your API key by selecting your name and then Access Methods:
