  6. The "Make public" slider on top displays the currently selected public access to this storage. By sliding to the left the feature is deactivated, sliding to the right activates it.

    If the access is active, a public link to the bucket is automatically created and appears below. This link can be distributed and shared with the public (after confirming the settings by 'Save'). All public users can then access the bucket via this link

    The status of a bucket's public access can also be seen in bucket overview page.
