Look before you speak. Do you see ads? What’s my relation to them? Exactly the same as the one with you – they read the sites.

Jungle Disk is pretty good. Hopefully WebDrive will soon have S3 capabilities (I hear they are currently in development).</p> Still waiting for some killer S3 apps. Jungle Disk is pretty good.

A drive letter integration and automatic sync would have been better. S3Drive is a Freeware which offers similar features as in JungleDisk. BucketExplorer looks to be in the similar category of S3Drive Firefox Extension.</p> Great to see more S3 Consumer UIs. A drive letter integration and automatic sync would have been better.
