Automatic object archiving based on user selections

Abstract

An indication may be received, by a storage service, from an account, of at least a first object and a first threshold time duration, wherein the first object is to be automatically transferred from a lower-latency storage tier to a higher-latency storage tier based on object access history data and the first threshold time duration. A first determined time duration since a most recent access of the first object may be determined based on the object access history data. The first determined time duration may be compared to the first threshold time duration. It may be determined that the first determined time duration meets or exceeds the first threshold time duration. The first object may be transferred from the lower-latency storage tier to the higher-latency storage tier based on the first determined time duration meeting or exceeding the first threshold time duration.
