Frequently Asked Questions

Access denied errors typically indicate authentication or permission issues with your Cloudflare R2 credentials. Verify your API tokens and secrets are correct, check bucket access policies, and ensure your IP isn't being blocked by any Cloudflare security rules.

Upload failures may occur due to network connectivity issues, file size limitations, or R2 service disruptions. Try uploading smaller files, check your internet connection stability, or use a different network to determine if it's a local or service-side issue.

R2 performance may be affected by your geographic distance from Cloudflare data centers, network congestion, or service load issues. Consider checking if the performance issues are consistent across different times of day, verify if other Cloudflare services are performing normally, and check the Cloudflare status page for any reported degradations.

Server-side 5xx errors indicate problems on the Cloudflare R2 infrastructure side. These issues are typically temporary and may resolve on their own, but you should check the Cloudflare status page for any reported incidents and consider implementing retry logic with exponential backoff in your applications.

Visibility delays can sometimes occur due to the eventual consistency model used by object storage systems. Wait a few minutes for the changes to propagate, verify you're looking in the correct bucket and path, and check that your uploads completed successfully without errors.

Deletion failures may be caused by permission issues, object locks, or service disruptions. Verify your access permissions include deletion rights, check if objects have any retention policies applied, and examine any error messages for specific failure reasons.

Dashboard issues may result from browser cache problems, service status, or account access issues. Try clearing your browser cache, using incognito mode, or logging out and back into your Cloudflare account to refresh your session.

Intermittent connectivity can be caused by network instability, DNS issues, or regional service disruptions. Try accessing R2 from a different network connection, check for any DNS resolution problems, and verify if the issues follow a pattern related to time of day or specific operations.

About Cloudflare R2

Cloudflare R2 is an object storage service designed to store large amounts of unstructured data with S3-compatible APIs and zero egress fees. The service enables developers to store and retrieve any amount of data from anywhere on the internet, while providing automatic replication across multiple locations, strong consistency guarantees, and integrated access controls through Cloudflare's global network infrastructure.

Developers use R2 to store application assets, user-generated content, backup data, and media files while taking advantage of the service's S3-compatible API to minimize code changes when migrating from other storage providers. Web application teams implement R2 for cost-effective delivery of images, videos, and other static content directly from Cloudflare's edge network. Data-intensive businesses leverage R2's elimination of egress fees for significant cost savings when serving large amounts of data to users worldwide, while maintaining direct control over storage and retention policies.

Users may encounter various types of issues when using Cloudflare R2, including temporary processing delays when creating new buckets, occasional throttling during exceptionally high request rates, or brief propagation delays when applying permission changes. Object uploads might experience retryable errors during network fluctuations, particularly with very large files, while listing operations on buckets containing millions of objects might occasionally require pagination optimization. Integration with third-party tools designed for S3 might require specific configuration adjustments to work with R2's implementation details. During maintenance or update windows, users might experience slightly increased latency for certain operations or brief delays in metrics reporting. Custom domain configuration for direct object access might require additional DNS propagation time to become fully operational across all network locations.
