About

S3 Drive Explorer

Features
Read full description

S3 Drive Explorer connects to storage you already own. Point it at any S3-compatible endpoint and browse, upload, download, rename, move and delete your objects straight from your iPhone. Bring your own credentials. There is no account to create, no server in the middle, and nothing is sent anywhere except to the endpoint you configure. Your access keys are stored in the iOS Keychain on your device. FEATURES - Share sheet upload: send a file, a photo, or a whole folder from any app - Large files: uploads are split into 64 MiB parts and continue in the background, so an interrupted transfer resumes instead of restarting - Verified transfers: every completed upload is checked against the object on the server before the local staged copy is removed - Browse: folder navigation, search, sort, pull to refresh - File management: download, rename, move, delete, create folder - Multiple connections: keep separate profiles per bucket or provider, with deletion disabled by default on each one - Wi-Fi only by default: cellular use stays off until you turn it on - App Lock: optional Face ID, Touch ID or passcode gate - Encrypted settings export: move your connections to another device with a password-protected file PRIVACY No analytics, no tracking, no accounts, no backend. The app talks only to the endpoint you enter. You need your own S3-compatible bucket and access keys to use this app. It does not provide storage.
