S3 Manager turns S3-compatible storage into a fast, AI-powered visual browser for photos, videos, and files. Connect your storage to get automatic thumbnails, AI-powered keywords, timeline and map views, and an iOS-native experience that feels much closer to the Photos app than a traditional file list. FEATURES Library Browse your S3 files with a Finder-style folder tree and flexible Grid and List views, with controls for thumbnail size and labels so you can organize your media the way you prefer. Timeline Automatically browse photos and videos organized by Years, Months, and Days using capture date metadata. Quickly jump through time with grouped navigation and detailed media grids. Maps Explore GPS-tagged photos and videos on interactive Map and Satellite views, including a map-grid mode that lets you browse media by location. Keywords Search your media using AI-generated keywords with helpful suggestions, recent searches, and fast browsing across large result sets. Smart Thumbnails S3 Manager generates image thumbnails and video previews using partial downloads whenever possible, allowing you to browse massive libraries without downloading full files. Slideshows View photos and videos full screen with quick access to download, info, sharing, delete actions, and zoom controls. Import and Export Import media from files, folders, or the iOS Photos library, export folders back to Photos, and manage downloads, sharing, and deletion with clear confirmation steps. Sharing Similar to iCloud Links, S3 Manager offers a simple way to publish selected files, photos and videos as a private, read-only web gallery. Privacy S3 Manager communicates directly with your S3-compatible storage, and all AI analysis runs locally on your device. Your files and AI-generated metadata are never sent to external services unless you explicitly use sharing features, keeping your media private and under your control.
