Move an Object

Now that you've added an object to a bucket and viewed it, you can move the object to a different bucket or folder.

Note

In this Getting Started exercise you work with one object; however, you can also follow the steps below for moving a folder.

To move an object

  1. In the Amazon S3 console, right-click the object that you want to move, and then click Cut.

    Tip

    You can use the SHIFT and CRTL keys to select multiple objects and perform the same action on them simultaneously.

  2. Navigate to the bucket or folder where you want to move the object. Right-click the folder or bucket and then click Paste Into.

    Tip

    You can monitor the progress of the move using the Transfers dialog box. To open it, click the Transfers button. To hide it, click the Close button at top right in the Transfers dialog box.
