S3Drive

S3Drive is a simple app that turns your computer into a smart folder connected to cheap cloud storage. It lets you save, open, and share files just like you would with Dropbox or Google Drive, but everything lives safely in your own S3-compatible storage. In everyday use, you drag files into a normal-looking folder on your desktop and they automatically sync to the cloud without you thinking about it. It uses S3-compatible object storage as its backbone so your files stay extremely safe, can be accessed from anywhere, and cost far less than traditional cloud drives. This setup gives you full control over your data while still delivering the convenience of modern file syncing.
