This process is all controlled by the S3 connector within your system. This means you will never run out of storage space and it can grow or reduce as you require it. Instead, an S3 connector within your software will work within the S3 rules and chop / chunk your data into smaller sizes which are organised into the storage location. Object storage is different in that you don’t have a specific sized storage destination. With traditional storage devices and destinations, you build or buy a predefined storage size and that is all you can use. It is very different to the way files have traditionally been stored.

Object storage is also referred to as object-based storage and is a method of storing data in units called ‘objects’.
