COS (Cloud Object Storage) implements batch upload or batch download of files through specific APIs and SDKs provided by the cloud service provider. For example, Tencent Cloud's COS offers the multipart upload feature for batch uploads, which allows a large file to be divided into multiple parts and uploaded in parallel, improving upload efficiency. Similarly, for batch downloads, COS supports downloading multiple objects in a single request through the list and download APIs.
Specifically, for batch uploads, you can use the InitiateMultipartUpload, ListParts, UploadPart, and CompleteMultipartUpload APIs to upload a file in parts. This is particularly useful for large files or when network conditions are unstable.
For batch downloads, you can first use the ListObjects API to retrieve a list of objects that need to be downloaded, and then use the GetObject API to download these objects one by one. Some SDKs also provide more convenient methods for batch downloading, such as the download_files method in the Python SDK, which allows you to download multiple files in a single call.
In addition, Tencent Cloud COS also provides SDKs for various programming languages, such as Python, Java, and C++, which simplify the implementation of batch upload and batch download operations. These SDKs encapsulate the underlying APIs and provide higher-level interfaces for developers to use.
