Bucket Explorer

A Better Amazon S3 User Interface

If you're not familiar with Amazon S3, here's a quick tutorial:

Amazon.com's Simple Storage Service (S3) provides customers with a "simple web services interface that can be used to store and retrieve any amount of data, at any time, from anywhere on the web." Amazon S3 is intentionally designed with a very minimal feature set, and is not intended to be accessed directly. That's where Bucket Explorer comes in.

S3 data is stored in units called, "buckets" and Bucket Explorer provides an elegant user-interface for exploring and managing the buckets in an S3 infrastructure. You can use it as a simple S3 FTP tool, an S3 backup tool, and more.

“Bucket Explorer, Bringing S3 Storage To The Masses- Bucket Explorer is a software download and that makes it different from JungleDisk, which offers an online storage solutions based on S3...BE seems to be handy product. BE team also has some tips and tricks on how to use S3 for image hosting, and web hosting”- Om Malik, GigaOM
“I just started using Bucket Explorer after using S3 Firefox for a while, and the difference is impressive. 30 MB files used to take 40 minutes to upload, and fail half the time; now they take 10 minutes with no problems. Thank you for an excellent program. ”- BucketExplorer Forum
“Bucket Explorer is the best of all the "front ends" for S3 in my humble opinion. I came to the product late after trying about 5 others. The user interface is clean and navigation is a snap. What I don't know is why this solution is not included with external drives, i.e. Seagate, Western Digital, etc. as the preferred backup solution. Keep up the good work. ”- Paul Palmer
“I've tried several different Amazon S3 file managers and had settled on the free S3 Firefox Organizer. But then I tried Bucket Explorer. Not only did it do everything I needed it to do, it introduced to me new features I didn't know Amazon S3 supported. If you're like me, you love free and open source software. Bucket Explorer, once out of beta, will be a commercial program. I'm not sure what the final price will be, but assuming it costs less than $40, it is a program worth purchasing."”- carltonbale.com
“I have been using S3 for close to a year now to host my media files online and I used a combination of 3-4 tools to get the job done. You guys have done a great job with Bucket Explorer. I see all the features that I wanted (so far:)."”- BucketExplorer Forum
“I've been playing with Bucket Explorer today and like it as a bucket management tool, and also as a way to share files with friends/family via the signed URL method."”- BucketExplorer Forum
“These guys have a GREAT! product here. I just wish they keep going forward with it and don't stop development as I have seen with many software products. I have been using S3Fox for a while and Bucket Explorer looks like a copy cat of S3Fox in many aspects. ”- Amazon Developer Connection

PeLi To expensive for what it does.

gail f I was considering using Amazon S3. Doesn't it come with a user interface? What is the advantage of purchasing software for this? Would love to hear others' experience. Thanks

Saurabh Dani Hi Gail and Peter,

Yes, Amazon has recently added a web based interface for some basic management of files on S3 and yes, there are cheaper tools available in the market.

Bucket Explorer is a "power tool". There is no other tool which provides all the features of bucket explorer. It can reduce your s3 management time by "a lot" as it can run 100s of parallel threads. It also does MD5 checksum on every transfer which is not even done by Amazon S3's own console - a browser upload just cannot do that.
All transfers are on ssl by default, which most other tools avoid.

So - summary - it can make you very much productive by doing things FAST - fast and FAST, every transfer is secure and every transfer is checked and rechecked again to make sure that the data is NEVER corrupted in transit.

Nico Westerdale Sauradh, I have a quick question too, we use ASP.NET here at BitsDuJour and have just converted the site over to use Microsoft Azure and Azure Blob storage. Would you consider making your product work with any Blob storage?

BitsDuJour Admin - Aug 5 2011 at 6:35am

Saurabh Dani Hi Nico,

Yes, we do have a sister company to do that. The founder of that product, Gaurav Mantri, is much more experienced then me and they are building great products.
He is an Azure MVP - http://www.cerebrata.com/

Thanks

Jerry S I have a licensing question. You state: "Licensed per user for concurrent use, allowing transfer of a license to another owned computer." Does this mean I can install on my main and laptop computers at the same time, though each would be used separately at different times? Or does it mean it is licensed to one computer, but I can apply to transfer the license to another computer? At the price, it is not worth the cost of two licenses, one for the main machine and a second for my travel laptop.

Aug 5 2011 at 12:52pm

Saurabh Dani Hi Jerry,

Some of the language in the license text was crafted by a laywer, so may be confusing - here is the "intent" right from the developer, which we have listed on purchase page in simple language too:

It's one license per "person". So, if you have a desktop and a laptop and a netbook, you can install it on all three. Its not per machine.

Bucket Commander, the command line tool however is "per machine", because that is intended to run unattended as a process on a schedule.

Jerry S Thanks for the clarification. It's worth the price, I think, just to explore Amazon S3 in with a user-friendly interface.
