Overview

You can change upload storage settings including storage categories, storage regions, and upload acceleration to better manage files in the VOD console.

Managing Categories

1. Log in to the VOD console and select Application Management on the left sidebar.
2. Select the target application.
3. Click Upload Storage > Category Management on the left sidebar.
   
4. Click Add Category. In the pop-up window, enter the category name and click OK.
5. The newly added category will be displayed in the category list on this page, where you can rename or delete a category or add a subcategory.
   • Rename: Click the category name, and then click the edit icon next to it to change the name.
   • Delete: Click Delete in the Operation column to delete a category. If a category has subcategories, you need to delete the subcategories first.
   • Add subcategory: Click Add Subcategory in the Operation column. In the pop-up window, enter a subcategory name and click OK.

Note：

• The subcategory name supports up to 64 characters. Only letters, digits, and parentheses are allowed.
• You can also use APIs to view, modify, and delete a category, as well as place files under a category.
• You can add up to four levels of categories. This means you cannot add subcategories for a level-4 category.
• You can modify the category of a file on the Video/Audio Management page of the console. For details, see Quick Edit.
• There is a default category named "Other", which you cannot rename, delete, or add subcategories for. If you delete a category, its files will be categorized under "Other".

Configuring Storage Regions

1. Log in to the VOD console and select Application Management on the left sidebar.
2. Select the target application.
3. Click Upload Storage > Storage Region on the left sidebar.
   
4. To enable storage in a region, toggle on the button in the Status column. You can set an enabled storage region as the default.

   Note：

   • You can enable multiple storage regions, but you can set only one default region.
   • After you enable a region in the console, it takes about 5-10 minutes for the configuration to take effect, during which you cannot perform any actions on the region. Once enabled, a region cannot be disabled.

Storage rules

• If only the default region is enabled, all files will be stored in it.
• If other regions are also enabled:
  • If your IP address is within the storage scope of an enabled region, the files you upload will be saved to that region.
  • If your IP address is not within the storage scope of any enabled region, the files you upload will be saved in the default region.

For more information on storage regions, see How to Increase the Speed and Success Rate of Media File Upload.

Configuring Client Upload Acceleration

2. Select the target application.
3. Select Upload Storage > Upload Acceleration on the left sidebar.
4. Click Edit in the Client upload acceleration area to modify acceleration settings.
   
5. Toggle on or off Global network acceleration and QUIC transmission and click Confirm.

   Note：

   You can enable QUIC transmission only if Global network acceleration is on.
