Prefer the terminal? Create the same volume from the CLI with vesslctl volume create --name <name> --storage <storage-slug> --teams <team>. See vesslctl volume create for the full flag reference.
You can create Object storage volumes to store datasets, models, and other files that need to be accessed by multiple workspaces or team members.
This page covers creating Object storage volumes (self-service for all members). Cluster storage volumes can only be created by organization admins from the admin storage page.

Object storage volumes are backed by S3 with Read-Write-Many (RWX) support. They can be mounted to multiple workspaces simultaneously across any cluster in your organization, making them ideal for collaborative work.

​
Steps to create

  1. Go to the Object storage tab in the sidebar.
  2. Click Create new volume.
  3. Configure the volume settings:
    • Name: A unique name for your volume.
    • Description: Optional details about the volume’s purpose.
    • Storage: Select the Object storage backend for this volume.
    • Size (GiB): The storage capacity. You can increase this later, but cannot decrease it.
    • Access: Select one or more teams that will have access to this volume.
  4. Click Create.

Pricing

Object storage is billed daily based on actual usage (effective 2026-07-01). See Storage pricing for the latest rates and FAQ.
  • Pay-as-you-go: You pay for what you actually store, measured daily.
  • No quota limits: You don’t need to request a quota from an admin. You can create volumes as needed, subject to your organization’s billing policies.
