S3 Drive Explorer works with storage you already own. To use it you need an S3-compatible bucket and a pair of access keys. The app does not provide storage and does not create accounts.
Deletion is turned off on new connections. Turn on Allow object deletion in a connection's settings if you want to delete or move objects.
Share a file, a photo or a folder from any app and choose S3 Drive Explorer in the share sheet, then pick a destination folder. Large files are split into 64 MiB parts and continue uploading in the background, so an interrupted transfer resumes instead of starting over. Every completed upload is checked against the object on the server before the local staged copy is removed.
Uploads and downloads use Wi-Fi only until you turn on cellular use in Settings.
Settings can be exported to a password-protected .driveconfig file and imported
on another device. Use a password you can reproduce — the file cannot be recovered
without it.
| Test Connection fails | The Activity Log tab distinguishes a wrong bucket from a wrong key and from a permissions problem — check there first. |
|---|---|
| An upload sits at “Waiting for Wi-Fi” | Either connect to Wi-Fi, or enable cellular use in Settings. |
| An upload is stuck | Open the Uploads tab and pull to refresh; incomplete transfers are reconciled when the app is opened. |
