Permission Management

Each file is provided with Private permission by default, and each file can be changed to Public permission through permission settings. Private permission allows file access and download only to users who know the Access Key and Secret Key, whereas Public permission allows anyone worldwide to access and download the file via its Public URL, so caution is required.
