What Is the BOS Desktop?

The BOS desktop is a graphical desktop client officially released by BOS, which supports Windows and Mac operating systems. You can perform various resource management operations through the BOS desktop, such as upload, download, delete, and rename operations of files or folders. Any change you make to resources on the BOS desktop is synchronized to the console, including upload, rename and delete operations of files and create operation of folders.

The BOS desktop can also support the real-time local synchronization feature. It can automatically synchronize the contents in the local folder to the associated cloud folder. When you add new files to your local folder, the new files are added to the cloud folder automatically.

How to Log in to BOS Desktop

You can log in to the BOS desktop client through the AK/SK or authentication code. For the first login, you must log in to the BOS desktop client through the AK/SK. After login, you can set the authentication code and then log in to the client through the authentication code.

AK/SK Login

AK (Access Key ID) /SK (Secret Access Key) is equivalent to the user name and password assigned to users by Baidu AI Cloud, which is used to authenticate the user calling behavior. After you register a Baidu AI Cloud account and log in to the console successfully, the system automatically assigns an AK/SK to you. You can apply for and manage your AK/SK through the console. For detailed getting mode, you can view Get AK/SK.

Login by security code

To prevent users from logging in to the console many times and entering AK/SK repeatedly, BOS supports the setting of a local password through the authentication code. After you set the authentication code, you can log in to the console through the authentication code.

FAQs

• An error occurs when MacOS opens an application: Baidu AI Cloud Has Been Damaged.

  Fix: Execute the sudo spctl --master-disable at the terminal, and then enter the administrator password.

• Why is the sub-user access denied by the system during login?

  Fix: You need to create the authorization policy for sub-users and grant the "ListBuckets" permission to sub-users in the multi-user management. The policy content demo is as follows:

{
  "id": "policy_af6c3c62c1da432497b1fdc0d82bca12",
  "version": "v1",
  "accessControlList": [
    {
      "service": "bce:bos",
      "region": "*",
      "resource": [
        "bucket-name",
        "bucket-name/*"
      ],
      "effect": "Allow",
      "permission": [

    },
