The modern S3 browser and desktop client for S3-compatible storage.
One application to browse, edit and navigate millions of objects with a smart local index — across all your buckets, on every S3-compatible provider.
S3 Explorer is a desktop S3 browser for Windows, macOS and Linux. It connects to Amazon S3 and to any S3-compatible object storage — MinIO, Cloudflare R2, Backblaze B2, Wasabi, Ceph, DigitalOcean Spaces, OVHcloud, Dell ECS and twenty more — and gives you one interface for all of them.
It is built with Rust and Tauri, so it starts fast, uses little memory and ships as a native binary rather than a bundled browser.
This repository hosts the released binaries and the updater manifest. Issues and feature requests are welcome here.

The app is free and fully functional, with up to 5 connection profiles and an occasional reminder popup.
A licence removes both — unlimited profiles, no popup — and supports development: 11,50 € once or 1,99 € per month with a 5-day free trial. Details on the pricing page.
Credentials never leave your machine. They are stored in your operating system's keychain and are sent only to the provider endpoint you configured.
Anonymous usage telemetry is enabled by default and can be turned off at any time in Settings → Privacy. It carries no bucket names, no object keys, no credentials and no personal data.
