Connecting a drive to a remote S3 provider is the primary function of the product and is designed to be simple. The following basic steps are all that's needed to mount a drive. From the Drives tab of the main window, click New... to open the Edit Drive dialog.

On the Edit Drive dialog input a local drive name and S3 provider information. Click Test S3 Connection to verify the connection to the S3 provider, then press OK to save the new drive configuration.

Press Start on the main window to connect all the enabled drives. The drive should now be visible in Explorer and available to access by any application on the machine.

"Capable for cloud storage / backup and file management uses"

5/5

What do you like best about S3 Drive?

Using Amazon S3 Storage just gave me the perfect Drive mapping and unbelievably good ease of use, with little technical know-how needed to integrate with my frequent use case. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about S3 Drive?

I would only like an export configuration option to replicate my settings to another PC, which would have been a great feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is S3 Drive solving and how is that benefiting you?

As an Amazon seller, we have large amounts of images when you need to create new products; Amazon requests you use an AWS S3 storage, which offers the best and fastest processing.

With S3 drive this makes handling this data a breeze, and no need for complex setups or file uploading processes, it just maps your system with another drive letter.

I never needed to contact support for any assistance as the box was set up quickly and easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about S3 Drive?

There isn't much to dislike about S3 Drive. It gets the job done!!!

In doing so, it's not the most flashy tool of its kind. /n software focus is to deliver a reliable/powerful tool, with attention to quality and details, backed with the support of a talented tech team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is S3 Drive solving and how is that benefiting you?

My applications generate lots of reports that are exported to PDFs files

to what seems to be a local drive, but in reality, these files are being

uploaded transparently to my S3 bucket (thanks to S3 Drive) to make them available to users based

on a previously configured secured directory structure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it shows bit of lag as it is accessed by the internet. Otherwise, there are no cons as such. I will highly recommend using S3 buckets to store data as it is very easily accessible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
