S3 Browser is a Mac OS X administration tool for the Amazon S3 data storage service. My goal is to build a small application useful in itself for developers or users subscribed to the S3 service, but also to provide example code showing how to access S3 through the REST API in a OS X Objective-C client application, on top of OS X technologies. With S3 Browser, you’ll get all of the basic file management tools you could want in a simple, accessible package. Offering client-side encryption, folder synchronization, bandwidth throttling and support for multiple accounts, S3 Browser makes Amazon storage instantly usable and easy to navigate. Amazon S3 is great for a series of uses. Like, traffic off-loading of static files, backup files and data or exchange info, I'm sure there are other uses as well. There are a lot of tools or S3 clients, for different platforms, but one I really like is 3Hub for Mac. I really enjoyed the way you can.
S3 Client For Mac

I'm looking for a MacOS X GUI AWS S3 client to handle listing of very large number of files and downloading some files from it.
![]() Context
I work in a company where we have a cloud-based product that store files on S3. Our buckets have millions of files now. Sometimes I need to be able to list those buckets and to pick some files to help me debug our application. Since the list is very long I would like to filter it to browse it more easily with a MacOS X GUI application. I would like to be able to download some files, and since the buckets are protected, it needs the HTTP header AWS signature. Ideally the client would treat the bucket as read-only, to prevent from making mistakes.
Problem
I've searched on the internet for MacOS X clients with such features, but they all try to make some kind of hierarchical file system analogy which does not really stick with S3 API. In their analogy they have the concept of folders where the delimiter is
/ . If a 'folder' contains a lot of keys, then browsing it will either needs to list all the keys, or some clients will list more keys as you scroll down.
For example I might have millions of keys which start with
data/ but only a few which start with data/555 (note that the string does not end with a / character, the whole problem relies here)
Solution
I'm considering writing a GUI client for MacOS X (and maybe Windows) that uses the
prefix and delimiter query parameters of the S3 GET bucket listing :
Typically in the previous example, I would put the prefix as
data/555
I want to know if I've overlooked a S3 GUI client which would have such features.
