I have a number of "Deep Glacier Archive" class objects in the root level of my Amazon S3 bucket.

As the number of objects grows, I've added some top-level folders to the same bucket that I'd like to move the other objects into for organizational reasons. While I can add new objects to these folders, I've noticed that the "Move" action option is grayed out while when I have existing objects selected.

Is there a way that I can move these glacier objects into the other folders in the same bucket? (I'm using the Amazon AWS S3 web console interface.)

CodePudding user response：

Objects cannot be 'moved' in Amazon S3. Doing so actually involves performing a copy and then delete.

The S3 management console is unable to move/copy an object with a Glacier storage class because the data is not immediately available. Instead, you should:

• Restore the object (Charges might apply)
• Once restored, perform the move/copy
