Great Product - Great Service
I'm no technical expert, but I have found CloudBerry really easy to use. I was recommended it by Rudolf Boogerman, creator of S3Media Stream, which I use to stream video from Amazon to my Joomla Website.
I recently had to contact technical support, when my laptop went back for warranty repair and got factory reset. When I had problems activating the license, they sorted it out for me straight away. I got a personal service and really appreciated that.

Compare and Sync alone makes Cloudberry PRO worth the money
I've been using Cloudberry for home and work for many years now, but a few months ago I started using a cloud-based VM with a mounted s3fs share to download some data on a new bucket. I had been doing this for years from my home, but wanted to make sure I had redundancy and ability to download files I needed more quickly than my home-based connection would allow. My problem became how best to make sure I had all of my data in both places, for easy access at home, as well as easy access when I'm traveling or working remotely. I knew I could just copy all of my data using Cloudberry, but I really didn't want to have to re-upload gigabytes of data that already existed! I finally broke down and purchased Cloudberry PRO, and it was just amazing. As a regular unix user, I've relied on rsync for years, but it's just not reliable with s3fs. With Cloudberry PRO, I was able to easily setup many folders and sync just those certain folders, or sync the entire bucket. Since I would often saturate my connection syncing everything at once, I actually ended up going both ways, and Cloudberry PRO offered many options to make this work just the way I wanted it to. Start out syncing the folders that I used most often, then get a delta of everything else. There are more options than I've needed to use so far, but things like the ability sync or skip on certain file types I'm certain can come in handy in other situations. As for my bandwidth issue, I ultimtely overcame that with a feature that's not PRO-specific, allowing me to set a max bandwidth usage and a max number of simultaneous uploads. Other useful features that help that are PRO-specific would be allowing for multi-part uploads and multi-threading.
If you have been using Cloudberry's free version, this is absolutely a recommended upgrade if for no other reason than to support the company that offers it. If you just need a great product to make maintaining your s3 buckets a snap, this is the only one you'll ever need. Now if only they'd make a version for Mac, it'd be a huge plus for Mac users as well as Windows. :)
Excellent Tool
I have used the free version of this tool for a couple of years now for file management. It is an excellent tool which makes things so easy and I wouldn’t be without it now. Recently I bought the pro version as I really did need to try and understand the IAM system. For a small enterprise, the latter did seem like overkill, being a subject in itself but I was determined to comply with AWS’s best practice. However, the tool was a great help in understanding IAM and achieving the best setup for us.
Explorer Pro is the Bee's Knees!
I can browse all my buckets and even get a graphical chart of how much space is being used and where (similar to windirstat only in pie-chart). It works with various encryption schemes, making retrieving a single file from a backup a breeze. Totally worth the $$!
CloudBerry S3 Explorer PRO makes life soooo easy with Amazon S3 and a PC!
Ever struggle with remembering buckets, secret keys, public keys,security settins, and all of the other stuff that Amazon AWS requires you know just to put and get files onto their server?
How about just figuring out the web link and security settings required to share a file with others? Just click the security tab and set it as you wish. e.g. public and read access. Then click the "web link" button to get not only a full path link but also the option of a short link! Send that link to others and now others can see your file! Brilliantly clean and simple!
CloudBerry Explorer PRO turns it into a Windows Explorer looking interface. (okay, maybe an Explorer on steroids interface for S3) Drag and drop files in either direction: Windows to/from S3.
I've used other tools, but they all seem so clunky. CloudBerry has made it so intuitive that I'll actually start using Amazon S3 for more things!
Good stuff!
Awesome Product.
This is great tool to explore your content at AWS.
It makes a great combination with CloudBerry Desktop Backup edition.
This simplifies your task to remember your photos and other important data to backup at regular interval. You can set custom schedule to make all your computer backed up regularly at S3 in simple steps.
I am impressed with Block level feature to store more date in less cost.

Great Tool
CloudBerry Explorer PRO is great. I use it to synchronize, archive and compare data on different Cloud Storage Systems and my computers. Works flawlessly every time. It is a must.
A must use app to make life easy with AWS S3
We have our own app which stores thousands of images on AWS S3.
I came to know that due to certain coding issue, we were required to update metadata on lots of images.
It was not an easy task with AWS console but just a click of task with Cloudberry. It saved my hundreds of man hours and all manual efforts as well saved from manual mistaked.
Great work by Cloudberry Team.
Great time saver for multiple installs
CloudBerry Explorer PRO is great for small businesses that have multiple installations. It simplifies the process of dealing with buckets, and is a more intuitive interface for all the power that Cloudberry's products provide.
Must-Have Tool for AWS
Explorer PRO is a huge time saver. It makes easy work of S3 bucket permissions/policies and I use it all the time for viewing stats on my folder sizes. It's an absolute must-have tool for managing my AWS environment.
