Console guide

The Filebase Console is the web UI for managing your account. Almost everything you can do via the API can also be done in the console — and a few things (rotating keys, viewing billing, signing up) are console-only.

Logging in​

Go to console.filebase.com and sign in with the email/password you used at sign-up. The console is the only Filebase interface that requires a password — programmatic access uses your access keys instead.

The left sidebar groups features into three sections:

  • Overview — dashboard with storage, bandwidth, and recent activity.
  • Data Access — Buckets and Access Keys.
  • Your Account — Settings, Billing, Support.

Overview​

The Overview page shows:

  • Total buckets on your account
  • Total objects across all buckets
  • Total storage used (updated hourly)
  • Total bandwidth (egress) over the last 30 days, with a stacked daily chart broken down by category — see bandwidth

Buckets​

Click Buckets to see your existing buckets. From here you can:

  • Create a new bucket (private or public).
  • Click into a bucket to browse its objects.
  • Upload, download, and delete objects via drag-and-drop.
  • Configure the bucket's CORS policy and ACL.

For most workflows, programmatic access via the AWS CLI or an SDK is faster and more flexible than the console — the console is best for spot-checking, one-off uploads, and configuration.

Access Keys​

The Access Keys page shows your current Access Key ID and Secret Access Key. From here you can:

  • Copy your keys to use with an SDK or CLI tool.
  • Rotate your keys.

See access keys for how to use them.

Settings​

Update your name, email address, and password.

Billing​

  • View your current plan and upcoming invoice.
  • Upgrade to the Pro plan or downgrade back to the free tier.
  • Update your payment method.
  • View past invoices and receipts.

For pricing details see the pricing page.

Support​

Opens an email to hello@filebase.com.

Browser support​

The console works in any modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge). For automation, the Platform API and the S3 API cover everything the console does plus more.
