Browse and manage files

Browse buckets and folders, upload, rename, duplicate, delete, and multi-select files in BucketMate for iOS

Tap a connection to see its buckets, then tap a bucket to browse its files and folders.

Buckets

Each bucket row shows the object count and total size. For buckets with more than 1,000 objects, BucketMate shows More than 1,000 objects instead of calculating totals.

Sort buckets

1. Open a connection.
2. Tap the ... button in the navigation bar.
3. Under Sort by, choose Name (A-Z), Name (Z-A), Modified (newest), or Modified (oldest).

The sort order is saved per connection.

Pin and hide buckets

Swipe left on a bucket, or touch and hold it:

• Pin keeps the bucket at the top of the list, above the sort order. Pinned buckets show a pin icon. Use Unpin to undo.
• Hide removes the bucket from the list. Use Unhide to undo.

To see hidden buckets again, tap ... and choose Show hidden buckets. Hidden buckets appear in gray. Choose Hide hidden buckets to hide them again.

Pull down on the bucket list to refresh it.

Browse folders

• Tap a folder to open it.
• Tap a file to preview it. See Preview, share, and download.
• Tap a name in the path bar at the top to jump back to that folder.
• Pull down to refresh the current folder.
• Pull down to show the search field, then type in Search files and folders to filter the current folder by name.

At the bucket root, the title shows the bucket name with its object count and size.

Upload files and photos

1. Open the folder you want to upload into.
2. Tap the ... button in the navigation bar.
3. Choose Upload files to pick from the Files app, or Upload photos to pick photos and videos from your library.

The Upload sheet lists each file with its progress. Tap Cancel all to stop all remaining uploads, or Close to hide the sheet while uploads continue. A status bar at the bottom of the folder shows progress, and tapping it reopens the sheet. Tap Done when all uploads finish.

Uploads go into the current folder and keep the original file names. Folders picked in the Files app are skipped.

In the free version, you can upload one file at a time, up to 100 MB. Larger files or multiple files show Trial version limit.

Create a folder
