Storage is S3 compatible
Supabase Storage provides an S3-compatible storage interface as part of its multi-protocol support.
InvalidUploadId error code (400)
The InvalidUploadId error with status code 400 means the specified upload ID is invalid. Resolution: Verify that the upload ID provided is valid and active. Make sure to provide an active upload ID.
MissingPart error code (400)
The MissingPart error with status code 400 means a part of the entity is missing. Resolution: Ensure all parts of the entity are included in the request before completing the operation.
Legacy error format (409 already_exists)
The legacy error format returns status code 409 with error code 'already_exists', indicating that the resource already exists. Resolution: Use the upsert functionality to overwrite the file.
JavaScript SDK error handling for storage downloads
When using the JavaScript SDK for storage downloads, errors can be accessed via the error object with properties: error.error (error code), error.message (error message), error.status (HTTP status), and error.statusCode (status code). The pattern is: const { data, error } = await supabase.storage.from('bucket').download('key'). Check if error exists to access error details.
Python SDK error handling for storage downloads
When using the Python SDK for storage downloads, exceptions can be caught and the SDK handles bad responses from the server gracefully. The pattern is: response = supabase.storage.from_('bucket').download('key'). Errors are raised as exceptions.
C# SDK error handling for storage downloads
When using the C# SDK for storage downloads, errors are caught as SupabaseStorageException with properties: error.Message (error message), error.StatusCode (HTTP status code), and error.Reason (reason for the error). The pattern is: var bytes = await supabase.Storage.From("bucket").Download("key").
NoSuchKey error code (404)
The NoSuchKey error with status code 404 means the specified key does not exist. Resolution: Check the key name and ensure it exists in the specified bucket. If it exists, check that you have permissions to access it.
NoSuchUpload error code (404)
The NoSuchUpload error with status code 404 means the specified upload does not exist. The upload ID provided might not exist or the upload was previously aborted.
EntityTooLarge error code (413)
The EntityTooLarge error with status code 413 means the entity being uploaded is too large. Resolution: Verify the max-file-limit is equal to or higher than the resource you are trying to upload. You can change this value in Project Settings under Storage settings.
ResourceAlreadyExists error code (409)
The ResourceAlreadyExists error with status code 409 means the specified resource already exists. Resolution: Use a different name or identifier for the resource to avoid conflicts, or use the x-upsert:true header to overwrite the resource.
InvalidKey error code (400)
The InvalidKey error with status code 400 means the specified key is invalid. Resolution: Verify the key name and ensure it follows naming conventions.
InvalidRange error code (416)
The InvalidRange error with status code 416 means the specified range is not valid. Resolution: Make sure the range provided is within the file size boundary and follows the HTTP Range specification.
InvalidMimeType error code (400)
The InvalidMimeType error with status code 400 means the specified MIME type is not valid. Resolution: Provide a valid MIME type using the standard MIME type format.
KeyAlreadyExists error code (409)
The KeyAlreadyExists error with status code 409 means the specified key already exists. Resolution: Use a different key name to avoid conflicts with existing keys, or use the x-upsert:true header to overwrite the resource.
MissingContentLength error code (411)
The MissingContentLength error with status code 411 means the Content-Length header is missing. Resolution: Ensure the Content-Length header is included in the request with the correct value.
InvalidUploadSignature error code (403)
The InvalidUploadSignature error with status code 403 means the provided upload signature is invalid. This occurs when the MultiPartUpload record was altered while the upload was ongoing and the signature does not match. Resolution: Do not alter the upload record.
InvalidChecksum error code (400)
The InvalidChecksum error with status code 400 means the checksum of the entity does not match. Resolution: Recalculate the checksum of the entity and ensure it matches the one provided in the request.
Copy objects across buckets
To copy an object across buckets using JavaScript SDK, use the copy method with destinationBucket option: await supabase.storage.from('avatars').copy('public/avatar1.png', 'private/avatar2.png', { destinationBucket: 'avatars2' }). The owner of the new object will be the user who initiated the copy operation.
Move objects within same bucket
To move an object within the same bucket using JavaScript SDK, use the move method: const { data, error } = await supabase.storage.from('avatars').move('public/avatar1.png', 'private/avatar2.png'). Once the object is moved, the original object will no longer exist. The owner of the new object will be the user who initiated the move operation.
Move objects across buckets
To move an object across buckets using JavaScript SDK, use the move method with destinationBucket option: await supabase.storage.from('avatars').move('public/avatar1.png', 'private/avatar2.png', { destinationBucket: 'avatars2' }). Once the object is moved, the original object will no longer exist. The owner of the new object will be the user who initiated the move operation.
Copy objects within same bucket
To copy an object within the same bucket using JavaScript SDK, use the copy method: await supabase.storage.from('avatars').copy('public/avatar1.png', 'private/avatar2.png'). The owner of the new object will be the user who initiated the copy operation.
Copy and move object size limit
Currently only objects up to 5 GB can be copied or moved using the API.
Remove method limit is 1000 objects at a time
The remove method has a hard limit of 1000 objects that can be deleted in a single call.
Delete objects with remove method
The remove method deletes one or more objects from a bucket. Pass an array of object paths to delete them at once. Example: await supabase.storage.from('bucket').remove(['object-path-2', 'folder/avatar2.png']). Deleted files are permanently removed and not recoverable.
Delete objects via Storage API not SQL
Objects must be deleted using the Storage API remove method, not via SQL queries. Deleting objects via SQL query will not remove the object from the bucket and will result in the object being orphaned.

Allowed characters in file names
File names can only include the following characters: alphanumeric (A-Z, a-z, 0-9), punctuation (_ underscore, - hyphen, . dot, ' apostrophe, , comma), special characters (!, *, &, $, @, =, ;, :, +, ?, (, )), and whitespace.
Global limit applies to all buckets
The global file size limit is a global setting that applies to all buckets in the project. As a best practice, the global limit should be set to the highest possible file size that the application accepts, with smaller per-bucket limits set as needed.
Global file size limit by plan
The global file size limit applies to all buckets. Free plan: maximum 50 MB. Pro plan: maximum 500 GB. Team plan: maximum 500 GB. Enterprise plan: custom limit. For more than 500 GB on Pro or Team plans, contact Supabase support. The global limit is set in Storage Settings and applies to all buckets.
Multipart Upload for large files
Multipart Uploads split the file into smaller parts and upload them in parallel to maximize upload speed on a fast network. This method allows retrying the upload of individual parts in case of network issues. Multipart Upload is preferable over Resumable Upload for server-side uploads when maximizing upload speed is the priority over resumability. The maximum file size on paid plans is 500 GB.
Upload class for S3 multipart uploads
The Upload class from an S3 client can be used to upload a file in parts. This is the recommended approach for multipart uploads in S3 client libraries.
Multipart upload auto-abort timeout
All multipart uploads are automatically aborted after 24 hours. To abort a multipart upload before that timeout, use the AbortMultipartUpload action.
PutObject example with JavaScript AWS SDK
This example shows how to upload a file using PutObject with the JavaScript aws-sdk client: ```javascript import { S3Client, PutObjectCommand } from '@aws-sdk/client-s3' const s3Client = new S3Client({...}) const file = fs.createReadStream('path/to/file') const uploadCommand = new PutObjectCommand({ Bucket: 'bucket-name', Key: 'path/to/file', Body: file, ContentType: 'image/jpeg', }) await s3Client.send(uploadCommand) ```
Upload class example with JavaScript AWS SDK
This example shows how to upload a file in parts using the Upload class from the JavaScript aws-sdk client: ```javascript import { S3Client } from '@aws-sdk/client-s3' import { Upload } from '@aws-sdk/lib-storage' const s3Client = new S3Client({...}) const file = fs.createReadStream('path/to/very-large-file') const upload = new Upload(s3Client, { Bucket: 'bucket-name', Key: 'path/to/file', ContentType: 'image/jpeg', Body: file, }) await uploader.done() ```
S3 upload methods available
The S3 protocol supports file uploads using a single request or multiple requests via Multipart Upload.
S3 protocol support for uploads
Supabase Storage supports file uploads using the S3 protocol. S3 setup requires following the S3 setup guide.
PutObject for single request uploads
The PutObject action uploads a file in a single request, matching the behavior of the Supabase SDK Standard Upload. PutObject should be used for smaller files where retrying the entire upload is not an issue. The maximum file size on paid plans is 500 GB.
Concurrent upload behavior without upsert
When two or more clients upload a file to the same path, the first client to complete the upload will succeed and the other clients will receive a 400 Asset Already Exists error.
Concurrent upload behavior with upsert
When multiple clients upload to the same path with the x-upsert header provided, the last client to complete the upload will succeed instead of the first.
Python standard upload example
response = supabase.storage.from_('bucket_name').upload('file_path', file)
Python upsert upload example
response = supabase.storage.from_('bucket_name').upload('file_path', file, { 'upsert': 'true', })
