ArvanCloudS3
ArvanCloudS3 is a comprehensive tool for managing your files and bucket settings in your local system. ArvanCloudS3 helps you interact better with Arvancloud Object Storage by providing a simple user interface and a wide range of features. Using this software, you can create buckets, upload your files and folders in buckets, set their ACLs, and move your files between your buckets. It is also possible to connect it to other providers' Cloud Storage.
Installing ArvanCloudS3
You can download the latest version of this application based on your OS:
After downloading the file, open it to go through the installation process.
Note that you should not change the default installation path of the application, because it will interfere with the software's functionality.
If you encounter the Unknown Publisher message while installing the application, the reason is that the project is open source and it doesn't have a license. This warning will not cause you a problem and you can confirm it without worry.
Initial Setup
After installing the application, you must create a profile so that ArvanCloudS3 can connect to your user account. To do this, click on the "Add Profile" button.
On the page that opens, choose a name for your profile, set the value of "Account Type" to Arvancloud (if you want the application to connect to another provider, choose "Other"), specify the region you want, and Copy the "Access Key" and "Secret Key" from the access management section in the cloud panel and paste them in the relevant fields.
By clicking on the "Add" button, your profile will be added to the application.
You can add several profiles to the application and use the Sync feature between different buckets.
ArvanCloudS3 Features
ArvanCloudS3 has responded to the challenges and needs of users in working with the Object Storage by providing the following features:
- Managing and viewing the buckets
- Create new buckets
- Mounting the bucket as a drive on the computer
- Emptying the files of the bucket
- Syncing two buckets
- Managing settings and viewing the list of objects
- Uploading and downloading multiple objects
- Editing objects and buckets ACL
- Performing batch operations such as deleting objects or editing ACLs
- Searching among objects
- Pagination in buckets and objects pages
Bucket Management
After creating a profile, all the buckets in your account will be displayed in ArvanCloudS3. From here you can change the access (ACL) of the buckets, mount the buckets on your system, sync your buckets together, or copy their contents to other buckets. You can also delete or create a bucket from this section.
Mounting Bucket
One of the useful features of ArvanCloudS3 is the ability to mount a bucket in your system. With this, the buckets will be created as a drive on your computer and you can manage the buckets and its objects from your system.
This process is done with just one click on the "Mount as a Local Drive" option and you can see the bucket and its objects from the "This PC" path.
You can also remove the bucket from your system whenever you need, using the "Unmount" option in the application.
Syncing & Copying Bucket
If you are migrating from another provider to Arvancloud Object Storage, this feature will help you transfer your files with one click. You can also synchronize the buckets of two different regions. The ArvanCloudS3 sync and copy features can be implemented between two buckets of the same profile or buckets of separate profiles.
For this, just select your source buckets and click on Sync or Copy option. Then select your destination buckets and click the Copy/Sync button. After the process is finished, you can see the result in the destination bucket.
The difference between Sync and Copy is that by copying the bucket, the source objects are added to the objects of the destination bucket, but by syncing the two buckets, the contents of them will be exactly equal. That is, using the Sync function, if a file already exists in the bucket, that file will not be transferred again in the Sync process.
Emptying & Removing Bucket
To delete a bucket, you must first delete all the objects inside it. Using ArvanCloudS3, you can delete the bucket files with one click and then completely remove the bucket from your account.
If the emptying process is unsuccessful due to incomplete files or uploads, you can contact Arvancloud support through a ticket.
Object Management
By clicking on each bucket, you can see all the objects in it. You can also download or delete them and edit their access settings.
In this section, you can use these features by selecting several or all objects in a group.
In addition, you can upload multiple files or folders in the ArvanCloudS3 application.
You can also set pagination and search between objects.
