# CDN object browser

> Upload, preview, rename, delete and organize files in a FiveMesh CDN workspace.

The CDN object browser is the file workspace for public assets.

It shows folders and objects for the active workspace path, with breadcrumbs, search, upload actions and file controls.

## Public URL shape

The object browser shows the public base path for your CDN workspace.

Public URLs are generated from the configured CDN base URL and your CDN workspace name. Use the public URL shown in the dashboard instead of internal storage paths.

## Upload files

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open CDN">
    In the sidebar, open **CDN** and select the **Objects** tab.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a folder">
    Use breadcrumbs or folder rows to move to the target path.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Upload">
    Click **Upload** and choose files.

    FiveMesh supports up to 100 files in one upload batch. Upload progress appears in the bottom-right dock.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Do not close the page while an upload is running. The progress dock shows queued, uploading, finalizing, complete, error and canceled states.
</Note>

## Create folders

Use **Create folder** from the object browser toolbar to add a folder under the current path.

FiveMesh uses hidden marker objects internally so empty folders can exist. Those marker files are hidden from user-facing listing and usage displays.

## Preview files

Use the preview action on a file row to inspect supported files before copying or referencing the public URL.

Text previews can fail when a file cannot be loaded as text. In that case, use the public URL or download path from the dashboard.

## Rename and delete

Available object actions depend on your workspace permissions.

| Action          | Behavior                                         |
| --------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| Rename          | Renames an object inside the current folder.     |
| Delete object   | Removes one selected file.                       |
| Delete selected | Removes multiple selected objects.               |
| Delete folder   | Checks that the folder is empty before deletion. |

<Warning>
  File and folder deletion cannot be undone from the dashboard.
</Warning>

## Next steps

* Configure folder retention intent in [CDN settings](/cdn/settings).
* Create a path-scoped key in [API keys](/account/api-keys) for scripts that only need specific CDN folders.
