I haven't started down the rabbit hole yet and it's quite possible this is as simple as a Linux install and connecting to a bucket but has anyone tried getting the s3drive app into truenas and mounting a bucket as a dataset on a pool to locally cache data from your bucket?

It would be a nice improvement if rclone backend configuration would persist with my login account. That way whenever I log into a new machine, I don’t have to go hunting for the config again

Hi, there are two related features: https://s3drive.canny.io/feature-requests/p/qr-code-credentials-exchange and https://s3drive.canny.io/feature-requests/p/encrypted-s3-credentials-storage-sharing In the future it will be possible, but we're solving challenges how to do that securely and in a privacy-friendly manner.

Wow, you guys must be smarter than the average developer or something, because I was just greeted by a message dialog (update available) when opening S3Drive and it couldn't be dismissed by tapping just anywhere, I had to tap one of the buttons to make it go away, WHICH IS A GOOD THING. So many times I have opened an app and tapped where I wanted to go, only to briefly see a dialog flash by, and left wondering what it was the app wanted to tell me. On desktop OSes you always had to click a button to close a window, I don't know why mobile OS developers thought it was a good thing to make everything dismissable by tapping anywhere outside the dialog. In other news, I turned the new background sync on, with my items set to sync once a day, and it has been working like a charm for the last three days. Awesome! 👍🏻

Hello everyone, I'm looking for a solution to store my images using Backblaze B2 (S3-compatible), which I already subscribe to. My primary goals are:
  • I want to access my photos from both my Android phone and my computer.
  • No server setup, as I don't have access to one.
  • Enhanced viewing experience, es the Backblaze app lacks features like thumbnails, making it less ideal for browsing photos.
  • I prefer a solution that runs locally and caches thumbnails and other metadata to improve performance.
I've come across S3Drive and it seems promising, it appears to align with my needs. However, I have a few questions:
  • Is S3Drive suitable for my use case?
  • Are there any limitations or considerations I should be aware of?
I appreciate any insights or experiences you can share regarding using S3Drive with Backblaze B2 for photo storage. Thank you!

Based on your requirements S3Drive would be a pretty good fit. Please find a quick guide how to set up Backblaze bucket: https://docs.s3drive.app/setup/bucket/ with S3Drive.
Are there any limitations or considerations I should be aware of?
Do you want to keep versions of your data, so you can "restore" previous version if needed or would you rather keep only latest version? Both cases are supported, but for frequently changing object it can lead to some excessive data usage (until you clean older versions up or set up lifecycle rules). The other one, if you want to protect your privacy, please enable the E2E encryption from the very beginning. Whilst it's possible to enable encryption later it leads to some annoyances if both unencrypted and encrypted data is mixed under single bucket.
I appreciate any insights or experiences you can share regarding using S3Drive with Backblaze B2 for photo storage.
I think it would be best if you give it a chance and see if it works for you. I would be glad to help you out or answer any questions you might have. Thanks

Hi, just wondering: was recently changing the font size on Android intentional? The app was already very generous with whitespace, now it is even more so.
Hi, we've had issues on mobile where size and modification date sub-heading for files was colliding with the right "vertical dots" icon. We've reduced its size and, but side effect was that we've had to match (make it smaller) the filename font size, so it doesn't look weird. Folders don't have the sub-heading with size and mod date, but its heading font size had to be changed to keep it consistent with files. I think we need to rework listings in the long-run, we also plan to introduce one more listing: https://s3drive.canny.io/feature-requests/p/add-file-explorer-view-type which would certainly have less white-space and be more "packed". If you've preferred previous font-size, we'd be happy to make a configurable setting. It's just in some combinations of date/size the sub-heading was too long, so we wouldn't need to hide overflow of last couple characters when it's too long.

Hey Tom, thank you for your reply. Yes I preferred the previous size, especially for the modification date and size line, which is a bit too small now to comfortably read I think. Don't you always have to have some way to hide overflow and show it on request, since screen size and custom screen and text size settings differ across mobile devices and users, and there's also the possibility of people using the app in a resizable floating window? If it were me, I'd get rid of the 3 vertical dots icon next to each item and replace it with a long tap to access the context menu. Less repetitive clutter, more space for unique per-file information. I would also add the modification time and size to the context menu, below the full filename, in case it gets trimmed in the main file listing. Or add a Properties item which brings up a popup with full file properties. This would also work well together with a more condensed list view that only shows file and folder names and no details, as well as with the current tile view where this information is inaccessible as it is now.

Hi, I started today trying out S3Drive. I have to say, very good first impression. With the initial sign up, I received 12GB of storage. Unfortunately, the storage backend seems to be on the slower side. My testing environment is on 10Gbps (as well as the ISP connection). I expected to have at least around 1Gbps. But my current transfers are ~5MB/s which are only around 40Mbps. To sync and transfer larger amounts, this would take forever. Could it be, that this is only a test-storage limitation, where the paid storage is much faster? Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to replacing Google Drive and Proton Drive soon with your App. Only the storage backend isn't yet clear what to chose 🙂

Thanks for your feedback. We'll get back to previous size in a next release.

The challenge is that we already have drag&drop move attached to long tap. Any idea how we could accommodate these two?

Yes, but apparently with our tech/framework it's not exactly easy to implement this, so it behaves as Web "media queries" if that's what you've had in mind.

Hi @dannyyy, Thanks for your feedback.
But my current transfers are ~5MB/s which are only around 40Mbps.
What's the file size that you try to upload? Are measured speeds coming from a single file upload or is it "sum" of upload speeds of all files? Are these speeds coming from "regular" in-app file upload or perhaps Sync or Mount? What's your OS? Files < 100MB are using single-threaded upload, which limited by the latency (physical distance) between you and our infrastructure in Germany. Files >= 100MB are using multipart upload. App divides file into "chunks" and upload them in series of 5 until all of them uploaded. These parameters will be configurable in the future, allowing users with beefy connections to improve single big file upload speeds. If you upload multiple files at once in principle upload speeds should grow beyond these limits though. The other potentially limiting factor is E2E encryption. Depending on your hardware it might have smaller or bigger effect, but certainly as long as you reach 1GBit/s+ speeds the effect (on CPU loads) will be noticeable.
Could it be, that this is only a test-storage limitation, where the paid storage is much faster?
As of now, we don't differentiate upload speeds between free and paid plans.
Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to replacing Google Drive and Proton Drive soon with your App.
That's great to hear and if you need any transition period, you can use both these brands from S3Drive: https://docs.s3drive.app/setup/providers/#proton-drive and even directly import data from them to your desired storage (by using Sync)
Only the storage backend isn't yet clear what to chose
You have the freedom of using multiple storage back-ends with S3Drive, you can very much combine it with our storage offerings: https://s3drive.app/pricing?q=storage where you can create your own buckets and also get option to access it via S3 API using other tools (e.g. rclone, S3 CLI etc.)

Hi Tom, thanks for your reply. I try to give you some more insights how I reached those speeds:
What's the file size that you try to upload? Are measured speeds coming from a single file upload or is it "sum" of upload speeds of all files?
I did a mix of files. I tried to upload single files (e.g. Ubuntu ISO with ~4.5GB, Movie Clip with ~1GB, some smaller ones, but all over 100MB). In addition, I tried to upload all of them at once. The used bandwidth was always between 4 - 6MB/s
Are these speeds coming from "regular" in-app file upload or perhaps Sync or Mount? What's your OS?
So far, all were coming from the in-app upload. Either by drag & drop or selecting the files via file browser in the app. Haven't tested the speed yet, by using the mount drive
The other potentially limiting factor is E2E encryption. Depending on your hardware it might have smaller or bigger effect, but certainly as long as you reach 1GBit/s+ speeds the effect (on CPU loads) will be noticeable.
I have E2E enabled. I'm using a MacBook Pro M1 MAX (64GB memory) with a 10Gbps Thunderbolt 4. The CPU load was not recognizable. But tried also with regular WiFi 5 with excellent signal, which should reach around 500Mbps. I'm going to try it again later today. Maybe I caught a bad time

@Tom I did some further testings, but faced another issue on MacOS. I have mounted the S3Drive storage (which is using fuse). But I faced unexpected behavior:
  • The files in the app and on the mounted drive are not the same (app seems to be up-to-date)
  • Copying a larger file (few MBs up to GBs) into the mounted drive causes an IO error. Doesn't matter whether I use Finder, Forklift or the CLI
cp ~/Downloads/proxmox-ve_8.2-2.iso ./ cp: ./proxmox-ve_8.2-2.iso: fcopyfile failed: Input/output error
  • For each file I copy, there seems to be a hidden shadow copy of the same file (. file prefix)
  • Finder and sometime also the app is not responding for a while until the transfer stops and reports error

Sorry to bother again, I tried to buy a monthly subscription, to try out, whether the issue with the mounted drive has to do, that I'm on the free version (which officially doesn't support mounting drives). But then I get this error. According to PayPayl support, they say it could be a merchant misconfiguration. They don't see any issues on their side.

Hi @dannyyy, Sorry for this inconvenience. I've activated 30 days trial on your account to give you some time to try it out, whilst we can resolve some issues with PayPal that we might be having. This would allow you to use mount (and other Ultimate features) for any external storage. Free plan has all the features, but only with the storage that we provide.

Can S3Drive deal with an additional authentication layer such as Cloudflare Zero Trust with mTLS? I don't like to expose my MinIO unprotected to the public, neither exposed through my firewall nor proxied through a cloudflared tunnel. This would save me from always using a VPN connection to access my data. Before I set up everything, I wanted to ask.

Not at the moment, be we would be willing to consider supporting it (or something similar) in the near future. Can you send me more details / examples of such setup? We would then need to find out how to integrate it in S3Drive and review how hard would it be to implement it. We can also open new #support item, just so we have it all in one place.

I did some further research, and realized, that none of the existing S3 clients (aws cli, rclone, Forklift, ...) really support mTLS or any other authentication method out of the box. Therefore, I guess mTLS is not the right option. But if you have other ideas for the future to make it more secure, I'm always open to test.

You can't distinguish between a long tap and nothing versus a long tap and finger movement? Otherwise, Total Commander for example opens a context menu with a long tap on the filename and lets you move with a long tap on the icon. Alternatively, LineageOS' AOSP-based file manager enters selection mode on a long tap, with the file being long tapped selected and an action bar atop the screen where one can open a context menu through a three vertical dots icon. After entering selection mode through the long tap, one can move the selection (i.e. file/dir) with another long tap. I'm guessing Google Files works the same. I must say it's actually quite unexpected that currently nothing happens when long tapping a file in S3Drive (without moving). Most apps will either enter selection mode or pop out a context menu.
> Don't you always have to have some way to hide overflow and show it on request Yes, but apparently with our tech/framework it's not exactly easy to implement this, so it behaves as Web "media queries" if that's what you've had in mind.
I have no idea what that means 😄

Yes! It doesn't show up on the Rclone side of things so I wasn't familiar with it. We could definitely use it there too 🙂

Hi. I have a bunch of old family photos backed up to an Amazon S3 bucket. My wife complains that she cannot see them on her phone (or indeed anywhere). Was hoping S3Drive would provide a connection and allow her to select thumbnails and open the pics. Doesn't look like that's possible. Have I missed something?

Hi! It's indeed what S3Drive was created for. Did you/your wife manage to connect to bucket and list its contents? If you see the content, can you double click on the file and see if it opens as an image? I would appreciate if you could add some details (OS version or mobile) and create a #support item. Thanks!

It seems that Cloudflare Tunnel doesn't support RANGE header which is required at least for cipher detection (we query file header to determine if file is encrypted) and video streaming. https://community.cloudflare.com/t/cloudflare-tunnel-removes-range-http-header/380070 https://community.cloudflare.com/t/cloudflare-keep-removing-my-range-header-randomly/298444 We could allow alternative workflow and technically "disable" the cipher detection check and assume that if encryption is enabled, then file is encrypted (and vice-versa). This would work, but if encryption is enabled then all files within bucket would need to be encrypted (and vice-versa) for preview to work. Currently S3Drive can detect if file is encrypted or not. Streaming of videos without RANGE header might still work, except "seek" (that is scrolling through the stream) would likely fail. Not entirely sure what's the best way forwards, we would probably need to play with CF Tunnel ourselves. One of the alternatives might be setting up CF Worker which could route/proxy request. This likely wouldn't have RANGE request issues, but might have some other limitations (e.g. service quota) ... and obviously it's more work to set it up initially. == Regarding security of such setup
Internet (HTTPS, 443) -> Cloudflare Tunnel -> Traefik Reverse Proxy -> MinIO (HTTP, 9000)
What's the idea behind CF Tunnel? Is it to hide your Traefik instance from public? I still assume that CF Tunnel needs to contact your Traefik instance somehow, in which case you'll likely need to allow some IP's range from CF, but does it mean that all traffic (even undesired) routed through CF can reach your Traefik instance? Is there any other authentication layer that I am not aware of?

Settings are saved in a couple different places. Some general settings you'll find here: ~/Library/Containers/com.s3.drive.file.explorer.storage.cloud.manager however credentials are stored in the macOS Keychain.

When using the mount function on iOS, it only mounts the top most source. Is there a way to change this?
11:50 AM
The issue is I have 2 rclone mount points: b2 and then b2crypt. I only use b2crypt but since b2 is above it only shows b2.
11:50 AM
b2crypt is an crypt remote pointing to a subdirectory in b2
Avatar
Hi @CrushedAsian255, once you have multiple accounts/profiles configured in S3Drive, the iOS mount will show all of them given they're individually enabled in the Profile Settings (default: enabled). The issue is that we actually don't yet support crypt in iOS Files due to memory constraints on iOS, more on that here: https://discord.com/channels/1069654792902815845/1359944785544351774/1359977486212923513 so that's probably why your 2nd profile doesn't appear as 2nd mount, therefore iOS selects the only available as topmost.

Hi @CrushedAsian255, once you have multiple accounts/profiles configured in S3Drive, the iOS mount will show all of them given they're individually enabled in the Profile Settings (default: enabled). The issue is that we actually don't yet support crypt in iOS Files due to memory constraints on iOS, more on that here: https://discord.com/channels/1069654792902815845/1359944785544351774/1359977486212923513 so that's probably why your 2nd profile doesn't appear as 2nd mount, therefore iOS selects the only available as topmost.

Are your paid storage plans just give access to an S3 bucket?

Or do they have special features?

Yes, they allow bucket creation and S3 API key generation. (edited)

So it’s like other S3 compatible providers?

Pretty much, you can also select permissions (read, write or both). We'll keep extending it with versioning setting toggle, lifecycle policies and couple other features.

Hi! What feature would you like to see in S3Drive? In principle that would be here: https://s3drive.canny.io/feature-requests but if you feel like it, we can chat it through to confirm it it's not something that's being worked on.
Give feedback to the S3Drive team so we can make more informed product decisions. Powered by Canny.

It would be nice to have biometric authentication to secure the app access.

We're already working on a lock screen which will likely support biometric: https://s3drive.canny.io/feature-requests/p/lock-screen-pin-biometric-face-id (edited)

One other thing: I use the app to access Storj buckets. Now as soon as I open a bucket, it is not possible to go back and open a different bucket.

Have you tried going to "Manage accounts" and then selecting different Account? Ideally for support related items and bugs please use: #support , that would be much appreciated!
