Use Amazon S3 as a cloud file server with secure access and file sharing. It is a solution with web browser access, mapped drive access, file locking, version control, and sharing files online as web links.
Are you looking for a simpler way to access your data in Amazon S3? Perhaps you're looking for something more like a windows file server with mapped drive, file locking, Active Directory integration and NTFS permission integration? So what does CentreStack offer that makes it interesting? CentreStack layers Windows file server like features such as drive mapping, file locking directly on top of Amazon S3 to turn it in to a cloud based file server. It allows you to seamlessly access files from mapped drives, mobile devices and web browsers. And you can easily share files and folders as web links from outlook or web browsers.
Amazon S3, for the most part, is designed for independent software vendors (ISVs) to build business solutions, and not for direct use. It is kind of like a hard drive, which is not designed to be used directly but as a building block behind a tool like Windows Explorer or a file sharing platform such as a Windows file server.
