CloudBerry Explorer – A Great S3 File Upload Option

by Deb

You just have to love having an online business! The best things can happen when you least expect it.

Yesterday I posted two alternate ways to upload files to S3, primarily because a lot of you use Ezs3 (as do we), and their java upload is temporarily down, so I wanted to be certain your use of audios and videos wasn’t disrupted as a result.

Please Note: The goal of that post (and this one) is not that you use ALL of these options! Just that you know they exist, and that you find an option that best meets your needs.

Well, Andy from CloudBerryLab commented on my post, and suggested I also look at CloudBerry Explorer, which I must admit (blushing here) that I had confused with a different program designed for a different purpose.

So this morning I went and downloaded the free version of CloudBerry Explorer, tested it, and I love it! In fact, I think it is my new favorite file uploader and manager for my S3 and Ezs3 account.

It is easy to use, like a typical ftp program, but on steroids. You can even explore and copy or move files on your computer, or (pay attention – this is important) between folders on your S3 account, or even between two S3 accounts! Without having to upload them again!

I wish I had known about CloudBerry Explorer when I got started and messed up the folders and the naming. I must have uploaded the same files two or three times – what a waste of time!

You can also rename files right there on the spot (if you have messed up the naming conventions), set the file and folder Read settings, grab the download link, test view the file, and much, much more.

And, it won’t break your pdf files when you upload them!

OK – here’s a quick video showing the basics of how to use it.

Two Alternate Ways to Upload Files to Ezs3

by Deb

The internal upload function in Ezs3 is temporarily unavailable, but this doesn’t have to slow you down in your use of Amazon S3 or Ezs3 to store your files and create your cool players.

Here is a 10 minute video showing you how to use two alternate methods to get your files up onto your Ezs3 account in a jiffy. I tested both of these methods using Windows XP and Windows 7, as well as on my Mac (running Snow Leopard).

The only thing was I couldn’t get to play nicely on my Mac was the drag and drop box using S3 Fox. It just wouldn’t open. But it really didn’t matter, since the Tools – S3 Organizer option worked like a charm.

Uploading pdf files with either option broke the pdf files, so just create a folder on your computer and put pdf files there to upload as soon as the internal Upload button is available again.

To see one more option – my favorite – here is a post on the CloudBerry Explorer.
