Alibaba Cloud OSS Browser 2.0: New UI and Features Compared to 1.0
The article reviews Alibaba Cloud's OSS Browser 2.0, highlighting its refreshed interface, three login options, batch and folder upload up to 10 GB, online preview/edit capabilities, and compares its stability and usability against the older 1.0 client that struggled on Windows Server.
Alibaba Cloud OSS is a core cloud‑storage service; the author notes that all images on JavaGuide are stored in OSS and mentions a past data‑theft incident caused by PCDN traffic abuse.
The OSS client offers API, CLI, and a graphical client, with the GUI being the preferred choice for its simplicity.
Using the OSS 1.0 client on Windows Server caused frequent crashes; the official documentation even states it does not support server‑edition Windows, so the author switched to the command‑line tool for reliability.
While browsing the documentation the author discovered that OSS Browser has jumped from version 1.0 to 2.0. The new version impressed with a completely redesigned, clean interface and many practical new functions, delivering smoother operation.
Login now supports three methods: AK login, account login, and authorization‑code login.
The 2.0 UI makes bucket management clear and allows operations with just a few clicks, a noticeable improvement over the 1.0 interface.
Upload screens are also updated: the old version required multiple steps, while the new version streamlines the process.
File‑operation panels have been refreshed, offering a more intuitive layout.
The new client also supports batch file uploads and folder uploads (total size ≤ 10 GB), plus online preview and editing of files without downloading, saving considerable effort.
