S3 Browser

A Windows app to browse buckets and move files.

S3 Browser is a Windows app for browsing buckets and uploading and downloading files. This page connects it with your account's own access key. Using a sub-user's key? See S3 Browser with a sub-user key. Prefer video? Watch the setup video.

Before you start

• A bucket — see Create a bucket.
• An access key from the same region as the bucket — see Access keys.
• S3 Browser installed — download S3 Browser.

Set the advanced settings

Select advanced settings at the bottom left of the form. Set Signature version to Signature V4 and Addressing model to Path style, then select Close.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Fix
The bucket list is empty	With a sub-user key this is normal — add the bucket by name, see S3 Browser with a sub-user key. Otherwise check that the REST Endpoint matches the region of your key.
Access denied or invalid key	Copy the keys again from Access Keys, without extra spaces. An Indore key does not work on the Mumbai endpoint, and the other way round.
SignatureDoesNotMatch	The secret key is wrong, or your computer's clock is off. See Signature errors.

For other errors, see Access denied and Endpoint and region.
