Object storage makes it possible to store massive amounts of unstructured data that is written once and read many times. Object storage is used for housing videos and photos, music, and files for online collaboration. In object storage, data is sectioned off into units (aka “objects”) where it is stored in a flat environment.

All data blocks for a file are contained together as an object and are stored in what is called a storage pool.

Change the ownership of the data file so that it belongs to the minio user with: sudo chown -R minio:minio /data
