## Key Features in Detail

### 🗂️ Advanced Directory Support
- **Nested Folder Creation**: Automatically create multi-level directory structures (e.g., `documents/2025/january/reports`)
- **BucketDirectory Parameter**: Specify target directories for uploads without manual folder creation
- **Clean Directory Handling**: Non-critical directory creation attempts with graceful fallback

### ⚡ Chunked Operations
- **Large File Support**: Handle files of any size with configurable chunk sizes
- **Resume Capability**: Interrupted transfers can be resumed (future enhancement)
- **Multi-Layer Progress**: Track collection progress, file progress, and chunk progress simultaneously
- **Performance Optimization**: Optimal chunk sizes for different network conditions

### 📊 Enhanced Object Listing
```powershell
# Advanced filtering and sorting examples
Get-MinIOObject -BucketName "data" -Prefix "logs/" -SortBy "LastModified" -Descending -MaxObjects 50
Get-MinIOObject -BucketName "media" -ObjectsOnly -SortBy "Size" -Descending
Get-MinIOObject -BucketName "docs" -ObjectName "specific-file.pdf"
```

### ⏱️ Performance Metrics
All operations provide detailed timing information:
- **Duration**: Precise operation timing
- **Transfer Speed**: Formatted speed reporting (B/s, KB/s, MB/s, GB/s, TB/s)
- **Progress Tracking**: Real-time progress updates during transfers

## Examples

See the [examples](./examples/) directory for comprehensive usage examples:
- **Basic Operations**: Connection, bucket management, simple uploads/downloads
- **Advanced Scenarios**: Chunked transfers, directory management, bulk operations
- **Enterprise Patterns**: Policy management, monitoring, and automation scripts
