Amazon Web Services announced improved features for the Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) today. Here are the three improved features in the new S3 release.
Folder Upload
Prior to the update, users had to upload files individually. Now, if you have an entire folder that you want to add to your S3 bucket, you can add the entire folder at once
“Jump”
Amazon enhances navigation speed in the S3 interface with its new “Jump” feature. When moving to a new object or folder, the new S3 update will narrow the possible results as you are typing — only objects or folders that start with the letters you type will be displayed, helping you find what you are looking for faster.
Access Sans Adobe Flash
With previous versions, access to S3 was limited to platforms with Adobe Flash. Now platforms without Flash can access the service, creating an added security benefit: the only open port required for connection is port 443 — the standard port for secure connections.
These features in the new S3 release are live and ready to go. Access your S3 buckets here to take advantage of these improvements. If you are not using AWS S3 yet, you can learn more about it here.
