There are two ways to upload files and folders in Zata. You can upload a file directly into the bucket, or you can first create a folder and then upload files inside that folder. This helps in organizing data in a structured manner.

**Upload File Directly**\
Click on the **Upload File** button. A panel will appear where you can either drag and drop files or browse and select files from your system. After selecting the file, the upload process will start automatically.\
\
**Create Folder First (Optional Method)**\
If you want to organize your data, click on **Create Folder**, enter the folder name, and submit.

After uploading the files we can see details of objects like File name, File type, Size, and Last Updates and actions.

**Object Actions in Zata**

For each object, an Actions menu is available that allows you to perform basic operations. The following options are currently supported:

* **Share** – Used to generate a temporary presigned URL to provide secure access to the object for a limited time.
* **Download** – Used to download the selected object to the local system.
* **Delete** – Used to permanently remove the object from the bucket.
