Bucket Management

Create a Bucket​

To create a new bucket you can either:

  • Create a new bucket through the Snowcell Console

The user-friendly name of the bucket is not the same as the one stored in the Backblaze database. To fetch Fetch the actual bucket name used in Backblaze B2, you can use the CLI:
