# Copy object

:::danger

When you paste an object from the clipboard, it replaces the object in the destination bucket without warning.

:::

:::info

If [bucket policy](/s3/buckets/bucket-policy/) exists:

* in the bucket where the object is located — it must allow reading the object;
* in the bucket where you want to copy the object — it must allow adding the object to the bucket.

Learn more in the [Actions](/s3/buckets/bucket-policy/about-bucket-policy.mdx#actions) subsection of the Bucket Policy instructions.

:::

You can copy an object to another bucket or another folder in the current bucket.

When copying objects via [S3 API](/api/object-storage-s3/), you can use [conditional requests](/s3/objects/conditional-requests.mdx).

1. In the [control panel](https://my.selectel.ru/storage/), on the top menu, click **Products** and select **S3**.
2. Go to the **Buckets** section.
3. Open the **Objects** tab.
4. Select the object.
5. Click **Copy**.
6. Open the page of the required bucket or the destination folder in the current bucket where you want to copy the object.
7. Click **Paste to current folder**.
