## What is AWS S3 Manager?

S3 Manager for AWS S3 (Amazon Web Services’ Simple Storage Service) is the simplest way to connect to your S3 buckets and to upload, download and view files on your mobile device.

- View images, documents, and play videos and audio files
- Download files to your Photo library and to the Files app
- Upload files from your Photo library and from the Files app
- Upload multiple photos from your Photo library in parallel
- Save connections for easy access
- Connect to any S3-compatible service

A large number of file types can be viewed in the app:
- All standard image formats, plus many RAW camera formats
- Play video and audio files
- All document types supported by iOS can be previewed

You can connect to any S3-compatible storage service, including any that you run on-premise. All you need is the service’s URL to connect to, which you can enter in the connection settings.

To easily share a file, you can copy its URL with a tap of a button. For files that are not public, you can copy a unique URL that is valid for 24 hours.

Security features:

When you save a connection, S3 Manager stores the connection credentials in the device's Keychain, a secure storage with built-in encryption that is managed by the device's operating system (iOS). Your credentials never leave your device, and no other app on your device has access to them.

To further improve security, you can enable authentication to protect your saved connections from unauthorized access. When authentication is enabled, you are prompted to complete Touch ID (or Face ID, if available) when you open the app.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2024-10-19, version 1.3.0*

All I need, all working, nice price!

### 1/5 — No fullscreen or maximized video mode

*2024-06-29*

This is a deal breaker for me and makes the app completely useless.

### 3/5 — Upload live version and preview not available

*2024-05-29*

I don’t see a preview and it would nice to get the live version photos to upload

### 4/5 — Хорошо, но...

*2024-04-17, version 1.3.0*

С протоколом работает нормально, коннектится без танцев с бубнами - видимо есть автоподбор версии протокола.
Но звезду снял за то, что или нет функции удаления каталога, или она реализована совсем неявно.

Please add a DELETE folder button.

### 2/5 — Needs an update already

*2024-02-12, version 1.3.0*

The layout doesn’t fit iPhone Pro Max screens- everything is outside of the space I can touch. And please add a dark mode. Otherwise this is good, basic and gets the job done:

### 5/5 — As described

*2023-05-26, version 1.3.0*

Does what it says it does. Good app all around

### 2/5 — Buggy

*2022-09-11*

Crashes with large files (>1GB) so not useful to backup video files.

### 5/5 — Works as advertised, just needs minor QoL changes

*2022-06-25*

Works perfectly fine for regular use, although I’m not able to get the s3-acceleration dual stack endpoint working.

I also wish you could full screen the video and pictures from the preview, sometimes I need to zoom in on a picture and don’t really want to download it to my device.

Well made simple app, no idea why its rated so low.

### 2/5 — Connecting your photos

*2022-03-26, version 1.2.3*

The app works and connects to your S3 account well but it wants access to your photos. Usually when an app wants access to your photos, an option appears to either accept or deny. However, it wants to go into setting and turn it on. When you do go into setting, it states that apps that requested access to your photos will appear here however, this app does not.

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2021-10-06*

I can’t preview any objects, save them, copy their URLs, etc.

I hope this is a bug, but be weary…

**Developer response:** You are the first person to experience this. Please reach out via the Help menu inside the app.
