A utility app, Bucket Explorer is a helpful user interface for both Amazon S3 and Google Storage Services. It assists in many ways but is especially useful for allowing users to transfer files to and from S3 and Google Storage. It is available in a free trial version.

Get More From Amazon S3 and Google Storage Services

Basically, Bucket Explorer allows subscribers to manage their buckets in Amazon S3 and Google Storage Services simply and easily. For example, it helps to create signed URLs, to manage bucket logging as well as providing clear access to shared buckets and files. Another handy aspect of the app is that it will override the content type pre-defaults so that HTML coding can be used instead, for example. However, most users will use it to browse their buckets and the files stored at either Amazon S3 or with Google. It is an adapted version of the popular and robust JetS3t API, so its user interface is simple to get to grips with. With it, you can allow and deny access to shared buckets and files from other people's accounts and set various levels of authorised access for Amazon users. It requires Java 7 in order to operate fully.

Bucket Management Made Easy?

Available for Windows, Linux and OS operating systems, Bucket Explorer is more than a mere exploration utility and very useful for anyone who uses Google Storage Services or S3. This is particularly the case for when buckets are managed from more than one computer terminal, perhaps by a team of people.
