Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) is an online storage web service offered by Amazon Web Services. Amazon S3 provides unlimited storage through a simple web services interface.

However, to use this storage service you need to use a 3rd party application/utility etc.

In late 2007 there were very few available and so my nephew (Robert Redwood) and I set about designing an application to meet our business needs.

...and so Data Bucket Pro was born!

This application is designed to upload/download any kind of file and generate a unique URL. You can even set your files with public and private permissions.

Because this application is written in Java, it is portable enough to even run from a USB stick...

The great thing for me has been using the service to deliver 100's of videos to 10,000's of viewers and know the scalable Amazon S3 hosting delivers a very robust service.

It is also an essential tool for me in having an offsite BACKUP of all my business files/videos/audios/pdf etc... You never know when disaster will strike in the form of a fire/flood/theft/computer failure etc...

...so if you are wondering about the Amazon S3 service for your own business, you can download our software for FREE and try it out.
