What is bucket?

The filesystem on your computer stores data in files and organizes files using directories. Cloud Storage stores data in objects and collects objects inside buckets. Buckets have a lot in common with directories, but there's one major difference: Buckets can’t be nested. But Buckets can accept directories (or folders) and files inside.

On this first version, the Upload and Download file limit is 1000Mb. We are working to increase it.

This tool provides you ability to Download, Delete, Upload and Create Folders on S3 Amazon object storage.

The files will be uploaded and download from/to your local computer directly to your S3 storage space. You don’t have to upload files to your server first anymore. Then, without occupying server storage.

After complete the Plugin Setup, go to Amazon Tab.

First of all, if you never created a bucket before (A bucket is a container for objects stored in Cloud S3), go to the Amazon Site, Go to  Object Storage Panel and click Create Bucket button.

After that, return to out plugin page and go to Amazon Tab. Then, choose a bucket to open.

You can Transfer Folders from/to your server and Cloud. Important: Be careful. If the files/folders exist, they can be overwriten. If not, they can be created.

In this version, transfer from/to server X cloud limit is 200Mb. We are working to increase it.

Open the Tab TRANSF and fill out all options before to click Transfer.

We suggest to Begin with the Option NORMAL on Speed Radio Buttons. If you feel you server has high load, click Cancel and choose "Very Slow".

On this tab you can see, at top right corner, the link to open the last transfer debug log. If you begin a new transfer, this debug will be overwrited.

In this version , the system skip files over 150 Mb. We are working to improve that in future.

You can watch our video demo to learn more about how to use this page.

The Speed Transfer depends of your computer and server, Server memory, internet connection and the S3 service.

First of all, complete the information required at Setup Tab. After fill out the Setup tab, click the Test Connectin button at the same tab. If you got an error, double check the information:
