Mac client for Amazon S3 file storage?

by Kevin Donahue on March 23, 2008



I feel like I'm tempting the fate of the LazyWeb / Hoosgot gods, but… here goes….

Is anyone familiar with a good Mac OSX client for Amazon S3? I'm using Leopard and trying out Forklift, however, I would prefer some way to treat S3 as a connectable share or server within Finder.

I have found BucketExplorer and JungleDisk, with JungleDisk looking to be more in line with my ideal implementation.

So… what say you, oh Internet brethren??

I'm a big fan of JungleDisk on both Mac and Windows. Well worth the $20 or so it was when I bought it.

Here are links to several Mac applications for S3: http://del.icio.us/awsbuzz/mac .

JungleDisk looks like a good tool, just not sure how it holds up to larger transfers (>1GB)

Yeah, I'm not sure on that. My largest files are about 100MB that I upload. I'm pretty sure I read in one of the last release notes that they made some improvements for large files though.
