 ### Setting Up
 
-First, ensure you are using ECMAScript modules (ESM) and TypeScript in your project for best compatibility. Here's how to import and initialize SmartBucket in a TypeScript file:
+Begin by importing the necessary classes from the `@push.rocks/smartbucket` package into your TypeScript file. Create an instance of `SmartBucket` with your storage configuration:
 
 ```typescript
 import {
@@ -49,264 +57,223 @@ const mySmartBucket = new SmartBucket({

-  useSsl: true          // Defaults to true
+  port: 443,
+  useSsl: true
 });
 ```
 
-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.
+Replace `"yourAccessKey"`, `"yourSecretKey"`, and `"yourEndpointURL"` with actual data specific to your cloud provider.
 
-### Creating a New Bucket
+### Working with Buckets
 
-To create a new bucket:
+#### Creating a New Bucket
+
+Creating a bucket involves invoking the `createBucket` method. Note that bucket names are unique and follow the rules of the cloud provider:
 
 ```typescript
 async function createBucket(bucketName: string) {
   try {
-    const myBucket: Bucket = await mySmartBucket.createBucket(bucketName);
+    const newBucket: Bucket = await mySmartBucket.createBucket(bucketName);
     console.log(`Bucket ${bucketName} created successfully.`);
   } catch (error) {
     console.error("Error creating bucket:", error);
   }
 }
 
-// Use the function
-createBucket("exampleBucket");
+createBucket("myNewBucket");
 ```
 
-Bucket names must be unique across the storage service.
+#### Listing Buckets
 
-### Listing Buckets
+While the library uses cloud-provider capabilities like AWS SDK to list existing buckets, `smartbucket` is aimed at simplifying content management within them.
 
-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.
+#### Deleting Buckets
 
-### Working with Files
-
-#### Uploading Files
-
-To upload an object to a bucket:
+To delete a bucket, simply call the `removeBucket` function:
 
 ```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.`);
+async function deleteBucket(bucketName: string) {
+  try {
+    await mySmartBucket.removeBucket(bucketName);
+    console.log(`Bucket ${bucketName} deleted successfully.`);
+  } catch (error) {
+    console.error("Error deleting bucket:", error);
   }
 }
 
-// Use the function
-uploadFile("exampleBucket", "path/to/object.txt", "Hello, world!");
+deleteBucket("anotherBucketName");
+```
+
+### File Operations in Buckets
+
+SmartBucket offers a unified API to execute file-based operations efficiently.
+
+#### Uploading Files
+
+Upload a file using the `fastPut` method, specifying the bucket name, file path, and content:
+
+```typescript
+async function uploadFile(bucketName: string, filePath: string, fileContent: Buffer | string) {
+  const bucket: Bucket = await mySmartBucket.getBucketByName(bucketName);
+  await bucket.fastPut({ path: filePath, contents: fileContent });
+  console.log(`File uploaded to ${filePath}`);
+}
+
+uploadFile("myBucket", "example.txt", "This is a sample file content.");
 ```
 
 #### Downloading Files
 
-To download an object:
+Download files using `fastGet`. It retrieves the file content as a buffer:
 
 ```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.`);
-  }
+  const bucket: Bucket = await mySmartBucket.getBucketByName(bucketName);
+  const content: Buffer = await bucket.fastGet({ path: filePath });
+  console.log("Downloaded content:", content.toString());
 }
 
-// Use the function
-downloadFile("exampleBucket", "path/to/object.txt");
-```
-
-#### Deleting Files
-
-To delete an object from a bucket:
-
-```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.`);
-  }
-}
-
-// Use the function
-deleteFile("exampleBucket", "path/to/object.txt");
+downloadFile("myBucket", "example.txt");
 ```
 
 #### Streaming Files
 
-SmartBucket allows you to work with file streams, which can be useful for handling large files. 
-
-To read a file as a stream:
+For large-scale applications, stream files without loading them fully into memory:
 
 ```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.`);
-  }
+async function streamFile(bucketName: string, filePath: string) {
+  const bucket: Bucket = await mySmartBucket.getBucketByName(bucketName);
+  const stream = await bucket.fastGetStream({ path: filePath }, "nodestream");
+  stream.on('data', chunk => console.log("Chunk:", chunk.toString()));
+  stream.on('end', () => console.log("Download completed."));
 }
 
-// Use the function
-readFileStream("exampleBucket", "path/to/object.txt");
+streamFile("myBucket", "largefile.txt");
 ```
 
-To write a file as a stream:
+#### Deleting Files
+
+Delete files with precision using `fastRemove`:
 
 ```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.`);
-  }
+async function deleteFile(bucketName: string, filePath: string) {
+  const bucket: Bucket = await mySmartBucket.getBucketByName(bucketName);
+  await bucket.fastRemove({ path: filePath });
+  console.log(`File ${filePath} deleted.`);
 }
 
-// Create a readable stream from a string
-const readable = new Readable();
-readable.push('Hello world streamed as a file!');
-readable.push(null); // End of stream
-
-// Use the function
-writeFileStream("exampleBucket", "path/to/streamedObject.txt", readable);
+deleteFile("myBucket", "example.txt");
 ```
 
-### Working with Directories
+### Directory Operations
 
-`@push.rocks/smartbucket` offers abstractions for directories within buckets for easier object management. You can create, list, and delete directories using the `Directory` class.
+Leverage directory functionalities to better organize and manage files within buckets.
 
-To list the contents of a directory:
+#### Listing Directories and Files
+
+Listing contents showcases a directory’s structure and file contents:
 
 ```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}`);
-    });
+async function listDirectory(bucketName: string, directoryPath: string) {
+  const bucket: Bucket = await mySmartBucket.getBucketByName(bucketName);
+  const baseDirectory: Directory = await bucket.getBaseDirectory();
+  const targetDirectory = await baseDirectory.getSubDirectoryByName(directoryPath);
 
-    console.log('Listing files:');
-    const files = await targetDirectory.listFiles();
-    files.forEach(file => {
-      console.log(`- ${file.name}`);
-    });
-  } else {
-    console.error(`Bucket ${bucketName} does not exist.`);
-  }
+  console.log('Directories:');
+  (await targetDirectory.listDirectories()).forEach(dir => console.log(dir.name));
+
+  console.log('Files:');
+  (await targetDirectory.listFiles()).forEach(file => console.log(file.name));
 }
 
-// Use the function
-listDirectoryContents("exampleBucket", "some/directory/path");
+listDirectory("myBucket", "path/to/directory");
 ```
 
-To create a file within a directory:
+#### Managing Files in Directories
+
+Additional functionalities allow file management, inclusive of handling sub-directories:
 
 ```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.`);
-  }
+async function manageFilesInDirectory(bucketName: string, directoryPath: string, fileName: string, content: string) {
+  const bucket: Bucket = await mySmartBucket.getBucketByName(bucketName);
+  const baseDirectory: Directory = await bucket.getBaseDirectory();
+  const directory = await baseDirectory.getSubDirectoryByName(directoryPath) ?? baseDirectory;
+
+  await directory.fastPut({ path: fileName, contents: content });
+  console.log(`File ${fileName} created in ${directoryPath}`);
+
+  const fileContent = await directory.fastGet({ path: fileName });
+  console.log(`Content of ${fileName}: ${fileContent.toString()}`);
 }
 
-// Use the function
-createFileInDirectory("exampleBucket", "some/directory", "newfile.txt", "Hello, world!");
+manageFilesInDirectory("myBucket", "myDir", "example.txt", "File content here");
 ```
 
 ### Advanced Features
 
+The library’s advanced features streamline intricate cloud storage workflows.
+
 #### Bucket Policies
 
-Manage bucket policies to control access permissions. This feature depends on the policies provided by the storage service (e.g., AWS S3, MinIO).
+The library offers tools for maintaining consistent bucket policies across storage providers, assisting in defining access roles and permissions.
 
-#### Object Metadata
+#### Metadata Management
 
-Retrieve and modify object metadata. Metadata can be useful for storing additional information about an object.
-
-To retrieve metadata:
+Easily manage and store metadata by using the `MetaData` utility:
 
 ```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.`);
-  }
+async function handleMetadata(bucketName: string, filePath: string) {
+  const bucket: Bucket = await mySmartBucket.getBucketByName(bucketName);
+  const meta = await bucket.fastStat({ path: filePath });
+  console.log("Metadata:", meta.Metadata);
 }
 
-// Use the function
-getObjectMetadata("exampleBucket", "path/to/object.txt");
+handleMetadata("myBucket", "example.txt");
 ```
 
-To update metadata:
+#### File Locking
+
+Prevent accidental writes by locking files:
 
 ```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.`);
-  }
+async function lockFile(bucketName: string, filePath: string) {
+  const bucket: Bucket = await mySmartBucket.getBucketByName(bucketName);
+  const file: File = await bucket.getBaseDirectory().getFileStrict({ path: filePath });
+  await file.lock({ timeoutMillis: 600000 }); // Lock for 10 minutes
+  console.log(`File ${filePath} locked.`);
 }
 
-// Use the function
-updateObjectMetadata("exampleBucket", "path/to/object.txt", {
-  customKey: "customValue"
-});
+lockFile("myBucket", "example.txt");
 ```
 
-#### Cloud Agnostic
+#### Trash Management
 
-`@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.
+SmartBucket enables a safe deletion mode where files can be moved to a recycling bin, allowing for restoration:
 
-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.
+```typescript
+async function trashAndRestoreFile(bucketName: string, filePath: string) {
+  const bucket: Bucket = await mySmartBucket.getBucketByName(bucketName);
+  const file: File = await bucket.getBaseDirectory().getFileStrict({ path: filePath });
 
-This guide covers the basic to advanced scenarios of using `@push.rocks/smartbucket`. For further details, refer to the API documentation and examples.

+### Cloud Agnosticism
+
+`@push.rocks/smartbucket` supports a multitude of cloud providers, enhancing flexibility in adopting different cloud strategies without the need for extensive code rewrite. It offers a uniform interface allowing to perform operations seamlessly between different storage solutions such as AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, and more. This aspect empowers organizations to align their storage decisions with business needs rather than technical constraints.
+
+By following this guide, you should be well-equipped to handle cloud storage operations using the `@push.rocks/smartbucket` library. Diligently constructed code examples elucidate the extensive functionalities offered by the library, aligned with best practices in cloud storage. For a deeper dive into any specific feature, refer to the comprehensive documentation provided with the library and the official documentation of the cloud providers you are integrating with.
