The requirement is to have multiple names to the same object. For starters, there is no inbuilt way to do aliases or multiple names to the same object. However, after some documentation trolling there is a way to achieve it, although it is not straightforward.
Cloud files offers large file (over 5G) support by allowing multiple segments to be uploaded and then a manifest that links the segments.

You can use this feature to sort of achieve symlinking/aliasing
Here's a small example
curl -D - \ -H "X-Auth-Key: AUTH key" \ -H "X-Auth-User: user" \ https://lon.identity.api.rackspacecloud.com/v1.0 curl -X PUT -H 'X-Auth-Token: AUTH TOKEN' \ https://storage101.lon3.clouddrive.com/v1/<URL>/stream/imagedata1/1 --data-binary 'Image1' curl -X PUT -H 'X-Auth-Token: AUTH TOKEN' \ -H 'X-Object-Manifest: sriramrajan.com/imagedata1/' \ https://storage101.lon3.clouddrive.com/v1/<URL>/stream/image1.txt --data-binary '' curl -X PUT -H 'X-Auth-Token: AUTH TOKEN' \ -H 'X-Object-Manifest: sriramrajan.com/imagedata1/' \ https://storage101.lon3.clouddrive.com/v1/<URL>/stream/image2.txt --data-binary ''This can be on CDN enabled containers as well and so once you do this, the following will be technically pointing to the same object.
<CDN URL>/image1.txt <CDN URL>/image2.txt
