What Is S3 Browser?

S3 Browser is a web-based tool that lets you connect to any Amazon S3-compatible storage service and browse, upload, download, and manage your objects and buckets directly from your browser — no desktop client or CLI required.

It provides a familiar file-manager interface with folder navigation, breadcrumb trails, and file previews, making it easy to work with S3 storage even if you're not comfortable with the AWS CLI or SDKs.

Key Features

  • Connect to any S3-compatible endpoint (AWS, MinIO, DigitalOcean Spaces, etc.)
  • Browse buckets and navigate folder hierarchies
  • Upload and download files
  • View file metadata such as size, last modified date, and storage class
  • Works entirely in the browser with no installation needed
