Overview

You can download existing objects in a bucket in the COS console. Specifically, you can download a single object in the console or download multiple objects in batches using the COSBrowser tool.

Prerequisites

Before downloading an object, make sure that the object already exists in the bucket. If no objects have been uploaded, upload them first as instructed in Uploading an Object.

Directions

Downloading a single object

1. Log in to the COS console.
2. Click Bucket List on the left sidebar.
3. Locate the bucket where the object resides and click the bucket name.
4. Click File List on the left.
5. Find the target object and click the corresponding Download button.
Click Download in the Operation column on the right of the object.
Select the object and click More Actions > Download at the top.
Click Download in the Operation column on the right of the object to enter the file details page, and then click Download Object. You can also click Copy Temporary Link, paste the link into a browser, and press Enter.
Note:
If the bucket where the object is stored is private read/write, a signature will be automatically calculated and added at the end of the address copied here. For more information on how to generate a signature, see Request Signature.
The temporary link with a signature is valid for 1 hour from the moment you click to view the Details. You can refresh the validity period of the signature by clicking Refresh.
By default, if the downloaded object can be directly opened in the browser, then accessing the temporary URL will directly preview the object rather than downloading it.

Downloading objects or folders in batches

Note:
You can only download individual objects in the COS console. To download multiple objects or folders in batches, we recommend you install the COSBrowser client. Here is how to download objects or folders in batches in the console in conjunction with the COSBrowser client.
1. Log in to the COS console.
2. Click Bucket List on the left sidebar.
3. Locate the bucket where the object resides and click the bucket name.
4. Click File List on the left.
5. Select multiple objects and click More Actions > Download at the top.
6. Follow the on-screen prompts to install or launch the COSBrowser client and log in.
7. Select the file storage location, and selected files will automatically enter the download queue. You can click Download List to view them.
