CloudBerry Explorer: Free File Manager For Amazon S3 And Windows Azure
CloudBerry Explorer is a free file manager with versions for famous cloud storage services like Amazon S3, Windows Azure, Google Docs and Rackspace. This Windows based application is ideal for users who may be using any of the aforementioned cloud storage services, especially Amazon S3 and Windows Azure. This is because these platforms have a shortage of useful free file managers, which may help users to manage their cloud storage account from a PC. CloudBerry Explorer can help you manage all types of cloud storage files, including anything from your PowerPoint or PDF documents saved to a Google Drive account to your sensitive programming data saved to an Amazon S3 account.
CloudBerry Explorer For Amazon S3
CloudBerry Explorer provides an interface similar to Amazon S3 and Amazon Glacier to enable easy moving and managing of files, vaults and buckets across your cloud storage accounts.

CloudBerry Explorer can be used for copying or moving files (to and from your local and cloud storage), sharing buckets with other users, managing CloudFront and hosting a website on Amazon S3. As you can see from the screenshot given below, CloudBerry Explorer for Amazon S3 provides many useful features, such as security assessment, synchronization of folders, access management, folder comparison, etc. However, some of these features are only available in the paid version of CloudBerry Explorer for Amazon S3.
