Copy Object

You can copy an object to a new object with the same name.

You can copy objects using PUT or COPY:

  • Use PUT method and add the X-Copy-From request header.

  • Use the COPY method.

Both methods have the same effect.

The COPY operation always creates a new object. If you use this operation on an existing object, replace the existing object and metadata.

If you use this operation to copy a manifest object, the new object is a normal object and not a copy of the manifest. Instead it is a concatenation of all the segment objects. This means that you cannot copy objects larger than 5 GB.
