Comments on: Bucket Explorer, Bringing S3 Storage To The Masses http://gigaom.com/2007/08/19/bringing-s3-to-the-masses/ Sat, 11 Feb 2012 12:44:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Rob http://gigaom.com/2007/08/19/bringing-s3-to-the-masses/#comment-178153 Wed, 13 May 2009 20:05:43 +0000 http://gigaom.com/2007/08/19/bringing-s3-to-the-masses/#comment-178153 Bucket Explorer is a known S3 client but I stopped my choice on CloudBerry Explorer – it looks pretty good and has almost all the functions that BE does, and it is freeware! I am a Windows user so CloudBerry Explorer is just what I need. http://cloudberrylab.com/

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.

Bucket Explorer is a decent app, but in my opinion it lacks focus (same applies to S3 Firefox plugin and a number of other apps). If you’d prefer something that does exactly the things you want and in a more straightforward manner I encourage you to check out my apps. S3 Webmaster in particular will be launched this week.

Jungle Disk is pretty good. Hopefully WebDrive will soon have S3 capabilities (I hear they are currently in development).

For example, Cockpit, a part of the JetS3T (pronounced Jet Set) toolkit, does the same thing – http://jets3t.s3.amazonaws.com/applications/cockpit.html

(I haven’t tested BE to be honest)

This can be very handy for me as I ship VM Ware images every 2 weeks to my sales team. I was considering to use Winzip Courier, but I will give Amazon S3 a try.

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.
