How to setup Object Expiration with CloudBerry S3 Explorer

As always we are adding features to make it easier for our customers to use the functionality to offer the most compelling Amazon S3 , CloudFront and IAM client on Windows platform.

Object Expiration is a new Amazon S3 feature that can be used when there are objects within a bucket that have a predefined lifetime.  On a bucket, a customer can define a set of rules that states given a prefix (or specific key) that the object(s) under this prefix should have a lifetime of a specified number of days.

New version of CloudBerry S3 Explorer comes with a full support for Object Expiration. To set up a new Object Expiration policy click on a bucket and select Object Expiration from the context menu

You can view the list of existing Object Expiration Policies in a bucket

you can create a new Object Expiration Policy by Clicking Add button. On the screen above we are creating a policy to delete the objects older than 20 days that are located in "files" folder.

You can also update and temporary disable the rules.
