Oracle Cloud Storage

Access files from Oracle Cloud Storage buckets

How it works

The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Storage connector pulls in all documents from the specified OCI bucket. It supports various file formats including PDF, DOC, DOCX, TXT, and more.

Documents are updated every 1 day.

Understanding Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage Structure

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage organizes data into buckets. Each bucket can contain an unlimited number of objects (files). You can think of a bucket as a root directory, and the objects as files within that directory.
