description: Alibaba Cloud Object Storage Service (OSS) via the S3-compatible API. Endpoint derived from the region code (cn-hangzhou, ap-southeast-1, ...).
---

## Installation

`@aws-sdk/client-s3`, `@aws-sdk/s3-presigned-post`, and `@aws-sdk/s3-request-presigner` are optional peer dependencies of `files-sdk` - install alongside the SDK so the adapter's imports resolve at runtime.

```package-install
files-sdk @aws-sdk/client-s3 @aws-sdk/s3-presigned-post @aws-sdk/s3-request-presigner
```

## Usage

```ts lineNumbers
import { Files } from "files-sdk";
import { alibaba } from "files-sdk/alibaba";

const files = new Files({
  adapter: alibaba({
    bucket: "uploads",
    region: "cn-hangzhou", // or "cn-shanghai", "ap-southeast-1", ...
    // accessKeyId / secretAccessKey auto-loaded from
    // ALIBABA_ACCESS_KEY_ID / ALIBABA_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET
  }),
});
```

Alibaba Cloud Object Storage Service (OSS) via its S3-compatible API. A thin wrapper around the S3 adapter - endpoint derived from the region code (`cn-hangzhou`, `cn-shanghai`, `ap-southeast-1`, ...), virtual-hosted-style addressing, errors relabelled. Auto-loads from `ALIBABA_ACCESS_KEY_ID` and `ALIBABA_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET`. Generate AccessKey pairs in the Alibaba Cloud console under RAM -> Users.

| Method | Status | Notes |
| --- | :-: | --- |
| `upload` | ✅ |  |
| `download` | ✅ |  |
| `delete` | ✅ |  |
| `list` | ⚠️ | The S3 list API returns no per-object `Content-Type`, so `type` is inferred from the key's extension (`application/octet-stream` when unknown). Use `head()` for the stored value. |
| `search` | ✅ |  |
| `head` | ✅ |  |
| `exists` | ✅ |  |
| `copy` | ✅ |  |
| `url` | ✅ |  |
| `signedUploadUrl` | ✅ |  |
