+
+First, set up your storage connection:

 ```typescript
-import {
-  SmartBucket,
-  Bucket,
-  Directory,
-  File
-} from '@push.rocks/smartbucket';
+import { SmartBucket } from '@push.rocks/smartbucket';

-const mySmartBucket = new SmartBucket({
-  accessKey: "yourAccessKey",
-  accessSecret: "yourSecretKey",
-  endpoint: "yourEndpointURL",
-  port: 443,            // Default is 443, could be customized for specific endpoint
-  useSsl: true          // Defaults to true
+// Initialize with your cloud storage credentials
+const smartBucket = new SmartBucket({
+  accessKey: 'your-access-key',
+  accessSecret: 'your-secret-key',
+  endpoint: 's3.amazonaws.com', // Or your provider's endpoint
+  port: 443,
+  useSsl: true,
+  region: 'us-east-1' // Optional, defaults to 'us-east-1'
 });
 ```

-Make sure to replace `"yourAccessKey"`, `"yourSecretKey"`, and `"yourEndpointURL"` with your actual credentials and endpoint URL. The `port` and `useSsl` options are optional and can be omitted if the defaults are acceptable.
+### 🗂️ Working with Buckets

-### Creating a New Bucket
-
-To create a new bucket:
+#### Creating Buckets

 ```typescript
-async function createBucket(bucketName: string) {
-  try {
-    const myBucket: Bucket = await mySmartBucket.createBucket(bucketName);
-    console.log(`Bucket ${bucketName} created successfully.`);
-  } catch (error) {
-    console.error("Error creating bucket:", error);
-  }
-}
-
-// Use the function
-createBucket("exampleBucket");
+// Create a new bucket
+const myBucket = await smartBucket.createBucket('my-awesome-bucket');
+console.log(`✅ Bucket created: ${myBucket.name}`);
 ```

-Bucket names must be unique across the storage service.
-
-### Listing Buckets
-
-Currently, SmartBucket does not include a direct method to list all buckets, but you can access the underlying client provided by the cloud storage SDK to perform such operations, depending on the SDK's capabilities.
-
-### Working with Files
-
-#### Uploading Files
-
-To upload an object to a bucket:
+#### Getting Existing Buckets

 ```typescript
-async function uploadFile(bucketName: string, filePath: string, fileContent: Buffer | string) {
-  const myBucket: Bucket = await mySmartBucket.getBucketByName(bucketName);
-  if (myBucket) {
-    await myBucket.fastPut({ path: filePath, contents: fileContent });
-    console.log(`File uploaded to ${bucketName} at ${filePath}`);
-  } else {
-    console.error(`Bucket ${bucketName} does not exist.`);
-  }
-}
+// Get a bucket reference
+const existingBucket = await smartBucket.getBucketByName('existing-bucket');

-// Use the function
-uploadFile("exampleBucket", "path/to/object.txt", "Hello, world!");
+// Or use strict mode (throws if bucket doesn't exist)
+const bucketStrict = await smartBucket.getBucketByNameStrict('must-exist-bucket');
 ```

-#### Downloading Files
-
-To download an object:
+#### Removing Buckets

 ```typescript
-async function downloadFile(bucketName: string, filePath: string) {
-  const myBucket: Bucket = await mySmartBucket.getBucketByName(bucketName);
-  if (myBucket) {
-    const fileContent: Buffer = await myBucket.fastGet({ path: filePath });
-    console.log("Downloaded file content:", fileContent.toString());
-  } else {
-    console.error(`Bucket ${bucketName} does not exist.`);
-  }
-}
-
-// Use the function
-downloadFile("exampleBucket", "path/to/object.txt");
+// Delete a bucket (must be empty)
+await smartBucket.removeBucket('old-bucket');
+console.log('🗑️ Bucket removed');
 ```

-#### Deleting Files
+### 📁 File Operations

-To delete an object from a bucket:
+#### Upload Files

 ```typescript
-async function deleteFile(bucketName: string, filePath: string) {
-  const myBucket: Bucket = await mySmartBucket.getBucketByName(bucketName);
-  if (myBucket) {
-    await myBucket.fastRemove({ path: filePath });
-    console.log(`File at ${filePath} deleted from ${bucketName}.`);
-  } else {
-    console.error(`Bucket ${bucketName} does not exist.`);
-  }
-}
+const bucket = await smartBucket.getBucketByName('my-bucket');

-// Use the function
-deleteFile("exampleBucket", "path/to/object.txt");
-```
+// Simple file upload
+await bucket.fastPut({
+  path: 'documents/report.pdf',
+  contents: Buffer.from('Your file content here')
+});

-#### Streaming Files
+// Upload with string content
+await bucket.fastPut({
+  path: 'notes/todo.txt',
+  contents: 'Buy milk\nCall mom\nRule the world'
+});

-SmartBucket allows you to work with file streams, which can be useful for handling large files. 
-
-To read a file as a stream:
-
-```typescript
-import { ReplaySubject } from '@push.rocks/smartrx';
-
-async function readFileStream(bucketName: string, filePath: string) {
-  const myBucket: Bucket = await mySmartBucket.getBucketByName(bucketName);
-  if (myBucket) {
-    const fileStream: ReplaySubject<Buffer> = await myBucket.fastGetStream({ path: filePath });
-    fileStream.subscribe({
-      next(chunk: Buffer) {
-        console.log("Chunk received:", chunk.toString());
-      },
-      complete() {
-        console.log("File read completed.");
-      },
-      error(err) {
-        console.error("Error reading file stream:", err);
-      }
-    });
-  } else {
-    console.error(`Bucket ${bucketName} does not exist.`);
-  }
-}
-
-// Use the function
-readFileStream("exampleBucket", "path/to/object.txt");
-```
-
-To write a file as a stream:
-
-```typescript
-import { Readable } from 'stream';
-
-async function writeFileStream(bucketName: string, filePath: string, readableStream: Readable) {
-  const myBucket: Bucket = await mySmartBucket.getBucketByName(bucketName);
-  if (myBucket) {
-    await myBucket.fastPutStream({ path: filePath, dataStream: readableStream });
-    console.log(`File streamed to ${bucketName} at ${filePath}`);
-  } else {
-    console.error(`Bucket ${bucketName} does not exist.`);
-  }
-}
-
-// Create a readable stream from a string
-const readable = new Readable();
-readable.push('Hello world streamed as a file!');
-readable.push(null); // Indicates end of the stream
-
-// Use the function
-writeFileStream("exampleBucket", "path/to/streamedObject.txt", readable);
-```
-
-### Working with Directories
-
-`@push.rocks/smartbucket` abstracts directories within buckets for easier object management. You can create, list, and delete directories using the `Directory` class.
-
-Here's how to list the contents of a directory:
-
-```typescript
-async function listDirectoryContents(bucketName: string, directoryPath: string) {
-  const myBucket: Bucket = await mySmartBucket.getBucketByName(bucketName);
-  if (myBucket) {
-    const baseDirectory: Directory = await myBucket.getBaseDirectory();
-    const targetDirectory: Directory = await baseDirectory.getSubDirectoryByName(directoryPath);
-    
-    console.log('Listing directories:');
-    const directories = await targetDirectory.listDirectories();
-    directories.forEach(dir => {
-      console.log(`- ${dir.name}`);
-    });
-
-    console.log('Listing files:');
-    const files = await targetDirectory.listFiles();
-    files.forEach(file => {
-      console.log(`- ${file.name}`);
-    });
-  } else {
-    console.error(`Bucket ${bucketName} does not exist.`);
-  }
-}
-
-// Use the function
-listDirectoryContents("exampleBucket", "some/directory/path");
-```
-
-To create a file within a directory:
-
-```typescript
-async function createFileInDirectory(bucketName: string, directoryPath: string, fileName: string, fileContent: string) {
-  const myBucket: Bucket = await mySmartBucket.getBucketByName(bucketName);
-  if (myBucket) {
-    const baseDirectory: Directory = await myBucket.getBaseDirectory();
-    const targetDirectory: Directory = await baseDirectory.getSubDirectoryByName(directoryPath);
-    await targetDirectory.createEmptyFile(fileName); // Create an empty file
-    const file = new File({ directoryRefArg: targetDirectory, fileName });
-    await file.updateWithContents({ contents: fileContent });
-    console.log(`File created: ${fileName}`);
-  } else {
-    console.error(`Bucket ${bucketName} does not exist.`);
-  }
-}
-
-// Use the function
-createFileInDirectory("exampleBucket", "some/directory", "newfile.txt", "Hello, world!");
-```
-
-### Advanced Features
-
-#### Bucket Policies
-
-Manage bucket policies to control access permissions. This feature is dependent on the policies provided by the storage service (e.g., AWS S3, MinIO).
-
-#### Object Metadata
-
-You can retrieve and modify object metadata. Metadata can be useful for storing additional information about an object.
-
-To retrieve metadata:
-
-```typescript
-async function getObjectMetadata(bucketName: string, filePath: string) {
-  const myBucket: Bucket = await mySmartBucket.getBucketByName(bucketName);
-  if (myBucket) {
-    const metadata = await mySmartBucket.minioClient.statObject(bucketName, filePath);
-    console.log("Object metadata:", metadata);
-  } else {
-    console.error(`Bucket ${bucketName} does not exist.`);
-  }
-}
-
-// Use the function
-getObjectMetadata("exampleBucket", "path/to/object.txt");
-```
-
-To update metadata:
-
-```typescript
-async function updateObjectMetadata(bucketName: string, filePath: string, newMetadata: { [key: string]: string }) {
-  const myBucket: Bucket = await mySmartBucket.getBucketByName(bucketName);
-  if (myBucket) {
-    await myBucket.copyObject({
-      objectKey: filePath,
-      nativeMetadata: newMetadata,
-      deleteExistingNativeMetadata: false,
-    });
-    console.log(`Metadata updated for ${filePath}`);
-  } else {
-    console.error(`Bucket ${bucketName} does not exist.`);
-  }
-}
-
-// Use the function
-updateObjectMetadata("exampleBucket", "path/to/object.txt", {
-  customKey: "customValue"
+// Strict upload (returns File object)
+const uploadedFile = await bucket.fastPutStrict({
+  path: 'images/logo.png',
+  contents: imageBuffer,
+  overwrite: true // Optional: control overwrite behavior
 });
 ```

-#### Cloud Agnostic
+#### Download Files

-`@push.rocks/smartbucket` is designed to work with multiple cloud providers, allowing for easier migration or multi-cloud strategies. This means you can switch from one provider to another with minimal changes to your codebase.
+```typescript
+// Get file as Buffer
+const fileContent = await bucket.fastGet({
+  path: 'documents/report.pdf'
+});
+console.log(`📄 File size: ${fileContent.length} bytes`);

-Remember, each cloud provider has specific features and limitations. `@push.rocks/smartbucket` aims to abstract common functionalities, but always refer to the specific cloud provider's documentation for advanced features or limitations.
+// Get file as string
+const textContent = fileContent.toString('utf-8');
+```

-This guide covers the basic to advanced scenarios of using `@push.rocks/smartbucket`. For further details, refer to the API documentation and examples.
+#### Check File Existence

+```typescript
+const exists = await bucket.fastExists({
+  path: 'documents/report.pdf'
+});
+console.log(`File exists: ${exists ? '✅' : '❌'}`);
+```

+#### Delete Files
+
+```typescript
+// Permanent deletion
+await bucket.fastRemove({
+  path: 'old-file.txt'
+});
+```
+
+#### Copy & Move Files
+
+```typescript
+// Copy file within bucket
+await bucket.fastCopy({
+  sourcePath: 'original/file.txt',
+  destinationPath: 'backup/file-copy.txt'
+});
+
+// Move file (copy + delete original)
+await bucket.fastMove({
+  sourcePath: 'temp/draft.txt',
+  destinationPath: 'final/document.txt'
+});
+```
+
+### 📂 Directory Management
+
+SmartBucket provides powerful directory-like operations for organizing your files:
+
+```typescript
+// Get base directory
+const baseDir = await bucket.getBaseDirectory();
+
+// List directories and files
+const directories = await baseDir.listDirectories();
+const files = await baseDir.listFiles();
+
+console.log(`📁 Found ${directories.length} directories`);
+console.log(`📄 Found ${files.length} files`);
+
+// Navigate subdirectories
+const subDir = await baseDir.getSubDirectoryByName('projects/2024');
+
+// Create nested file
+await subDir.fastPut({
+  path: 'report.pdf',
+  contents: reportBuffer
+});
+
+// Get directory tree structure
+const tree = await subDir.getTreeArray();
+console.log('🌳 Directory tree:', tree);
+
+// Create empty file as placeholder
+await subDir.createEmptyFile('placeholder.txt');
+```
+
+### 🌊 Streaming Operations
+
+Handle large files efficiently with streaming:
+
+#### Download Streams
+
+```typescript
+// Node.js stream
+const nodeStream = await bucket.fastGetStream(
+  { path: 'large-video.mp4' },
+  'nodestream'
+);
+nodeStream.pipe(fs.createWriteStream('local-video.mp4'));
+
+// Web stream (for modern environments)
+const webStream = await bucket.fastGetStream(
+  { path: 'large-file.zip' },
+  'webstream'
+);
+```
+
+#### Upload Streams
+
+```typescript
+// Stream upload from file
+const readStream = fs.createReadStream('big-data.csv');
+await bucket.fastPutStream({
+  path: 'uploads/big-data.csv',
+  stream: readStream,
+  metadata: {
+    contentType: 'text/csv',
+    userMetadata: {
+      uploadedBy: 'data-team',
+      version: '2.0'
+    }
+  }
+});
+```
+
+#### Reactive Streams with RxJS
+
+```typescript
+// Get file as ReplaySubject for reactive programming
+const replaySubject = await bucket.fastGetReplaySubject({
+  path: 'data/sensor-readings.json',
+  chunkSize: 1024
+});
+
+replaySubject.subscribe({
+  next: (chunk) => processChunk(chunk),
+  complete: () => console.log('✅ Stream complete')
+});
+```
+
+### 🔒 File Locking
+
+Prevent accidental modifications with file locking:
+
+```typescript
+const file = await bucket.getBaseDirectory()
+  .getFileStrict({ path: 'important-config.json' });
+
+// Lock file for 10 minutes
+await file.lock({ timeoutMillis: 600000 });
+console.log('🔒 File locked');
+
+// Try to modify locked file (will throw error)
+try {
+  await file.delete();
+} catch (error) {
+  console.log('❌ Cannot delete locked file');
+}
+
+// Unlock when done
+await file.unlock();
+console.log('🔓 File unlocked');
+```
+
+### 🏷️ Metadata Management
+
+Attach and manage metadata for your files:
+
+```typescript
+const file = await bucket.getBaseDirectory()
+  .getFileStrict({ path: 'document.pdf' });
+
+// Get metadata handler
+const metadata = await file.getMetaData();
+
+// Set custom metadata
+await metadata.setCustomMetaData({
+  key: 'author',
+  value: 'John Doe'
+});
+
+await metadata.setCustomMetaData({
+  key: 'department',
+  value: 'Engineering'
+});
+
+// Retrieve metadata
+const author = await metadata.getCustomMetaData({ key: 'author' });
+console.log(`📝 Author: ${author}`);
+
+// Get all metadata
+const allMeta = await metadata.getAllCustomMetaData();
+console.log('📋 All metadata:', allMeta);
+```
+
+### 🗑️ Trash & Recovery
+
+SmartBucket includes an intelligent trash system for safe file deletion:
+
+```typescript
+const file = await bucket.getBaseDirectory()
+  .getFileStrict({ path: 'important-data.xlsx' });
+
+// Move to trash instead of permanent deletion
+await file.delete({ mode: 'trash' });
+console.log('🗑️ File moved to trash');
+
+// Access trash
+const trash = await bucket.getTrash();
+const trashDir = await trash.getTrashDir();
+const trashedFiles = await trashDir.listFiles();
+console.log(`📦 ${trashedFiles.length} files in trash`);
+
+// Restore from trash
+const trashedFile = await bucket.getBaseDirectory()
+  .getFileStrict({ 
+    path: 'important-data.xlsx',
+    getFromTrash: true
+  });
+
+await trashedFile.restore({ useOriginalPath: true });
+console.log('♻️ File restored successfully');
+
+// Permanent deletion from trash
+await trash.emptyTrash();
+console.log('🧹 Trash emptied');
+```
+
+### ⚡ Advanced Features
+
+#### File Statistics
+
+```typescript
+// Get detailed file statistics
+const stats = await bucket.fastStat({ path: 'document.pdf' });
+console.log(`📊 Size: ${stats.size} bytes`);
+console.log(`📅 Last modified: ${stats.lastModified}`);
+console.log(`🏷️ ETag: ${stats.etag}`);
+```
+
+#### Magic Bytes Detection
+
+```typescript
+// Read first bytes for file type detection
+const magicBytes = await bucket.getMagicBytes({
+  path: 'mystery-file',
+  length: 16
+});
+
+// Or from a File object
+const file = await bucket.getBaseDirectory()
+  .getFileStrict({ path: 'image.jpg' });
+const magic = await file.getMagicBytes({ length: 4 });
+console.log(`🔮 Magic bytes: ${magic.toString('hex')}`);
+```
+
+#### JSON Data Operations
+
+```typescript
+const file = await bucket.getBaseDirectory()
+  .getFileStrict({ path: 'config.json' });
+
+// Read JSON data
+const config = await file.getJsonData();
+console.log('⚙️ Config loaded:', config);
+
+// Update JSON data
+config.version = '2.0';
+config.updated = new Date().toISOString();
+await file.writeJsonData(config);
+console.log('💾 Config updated');
+```
+
+#### Directory & File Type Detection
+
+```typescript
+// Check if path is a directory
+const isDir = await bucket.isDirectory({ path: 'uploads/' });
+
+// Check if path is a file
+const isFile = await bucket.isFile({ path: 'uploads/document.pdf' });
+
+console.log(`Is directory: ${isDir ? '📁' : '❌'}`);
+console.log(`Is file: ${isFile ? '📄' : '❌'}`);
+```
+
+#### Clean Bucket Contents
+
+```typescript
+// Remove all files and directories (use with caution!)
+await bucket.cleanAllContents();
+console.log('🧹 Bucket cleaned');
+```
+
+### ☁️ Cloud Provider Support
