S3Drive - general

B43l

Hello Tom, there seems to be an update on rclone to fix the Proton Drive issues. When you have some time, could you take a look at it? Testing from the APP still presents the same issues.

Hi, We’ve merged fix (422 block verfication issue) in a previous release. What issues you get exactly now? Thanks (edited)

The same that was reported some time ago To be precise, the app reports Code=200501, Status=422 On the POST to https://fra-storage.proton.me/storage/blocks Edit: I tried logging out and in and set up the sync policies again, and this time got a different error message File or folder not found (Code=2501, Status=422) (edited)

quick question! so when transferring files between two clouds, lets say mega and sftp server. How does it transfer the files? does it connect them directly? or how does it work?

Files are transferred through the machine where S3Drive runs. There is no way to transfer files directly between providers without the middleware. Are you concerned about transfer speed or data being used? We’ve plans to introduce hosted version of S3Drive service at some point, That would allow to use Sync on web and would use Gbit/s links to do the job.

Like S3 Drive CLI? That would be great. Yeah I was concerned more with the speed

my local speed is not that fast

What's the point of that? Creating a CLI would be a waste of dev time when there's a far more superior and feature complete rclone CLI available. Might as well be more useful to have a Hello Kitty branded s3drive version instead

Nobody cares about your opinion. I was just asking if that was his plan he can do whatever he wants. Completely unnecesary comment

The idea would be to allow running jobs on external dedicated server with lots of CPU and bandwidth. We have no plans of duplicating Rclone CLI, but rather exposing “remote Rclone” to the user. We don’t rule out creating some simple S3Drive CLI in the future (actually it already exists - Easter Egg), but that wouldn’t duplicate Rclone but rather supplement its function. (edited)

Ooo sounds good

No Hello Kitty version then? :(

We can’t say exactly at this point, if users want it then we could go 100% Hello Kitty…although I am afraid that would increase S3Drive pricing given licensing costs from Sanrio.

Yeah the current version allows uploading a lot of folders and files smoothly. If you mean between s3 providers, then they'll first be downloaded to your client before being uploaded to the new one.

I wish the sharing feature of the (free) storage that comes with an ultimate account would be tested more thoroughly because it doesn't seem stable. Often people report not being able to open the link while it hasn't expired, see a black page etc. It's not reliable for business atm

You're right that we've had couple reported issues with sharing feature, since there are different variations that we need to support, external S3, our own storage and then encryption comes in with two different versions V1 and V2. We don't have automated tests in that area, so when we deploy changes we need manually test different variations... and tricky part is that it could behave differently if you've opened share in a browser that's logged in to some S3Drive account or if it's fresh start. This creates so many variations to test against that we couldn't capture all the issues from start, but we've been fixing them on the go as they were reported. If you could provide us couple more details that would help us to build a knowledge where the issue could be, e.g. did you share files or folders or mix, was the root entry a folder, a file or both? Was encryption enabled? Was it V1 or V2? Is it possible that recipient had their own S3Drive account logged in? Did you modify some/all files after they've been shared with others (with V2 encryption keys need to be regenerated/reencrypted/rewrapped, so that creates yet another potential failure point)? Tl;dr Sorry for these issues. We strive to improve sharing feature as well as improve our testability. Please report a bug with as many details as you can possibly get and even if we can't fix it straight away, it will get added to our list, so we can prioritize our resources. (edited)

It's available globally, except that on mobile (iOS and Android) some countries are not available through the official channels either due to encryption laws or other difficulties that we face as a business. Having said that, if you refer to Android and India, then you can install using APK release. https://docs.s3drive.app/install/#apk-release

I see. The pricing is great too, probably the best I've seen. I was wondering about reliability though. Like, will it be around in 5 years? Also, is the frontend or anything open source?

It depends if you prefer answer from a marketing dept or reality. This question can be applied to anything in life and 5 years is a pretty long time, especially nowadays. Having said that, we have no plans of stopping, S3Drive is being constantly developed and is evolving... and what's important it's profitable from start since we've chosen organic growth path. It's pretty likely it will become part of a bigger suite in the future. ... and if we were to abandon it we would definitely release it to the public: https://s3drive.app/faq?q=opensource Unless @Xenthys kindnaps me shortly before then

Troubleshooting?? I haven't found any log nor anyplace in the docs that explains the errors I'm encountering. It woud also be very helpful to know what the limitations are for the free account - how many buckets, etc. Or have I missed where all this is clearly explained/described? I want to use S3Drive on Android tablet to connect to Backblaze B2 where I have 6 buckets. One bucket has a name that starts with a hyphen and that caused a problem. I (think) I deleted access to that bucket but then I had other issues that I do not understand at all. "See error log" is very unhelpful since I cannot even find the error log. It is very frustrating

This wouldn’t work as expected and could lead to loss of data. First sync config would make files on destination identical with the source (this could delete some of the files on the dst that you didn’t anticipate), second sync wouldn’t do anything, unless something has changed in the meantime - in such case some files on the original source (destination in the context of the 2nd run) might get deleted / overwritten.

Thank you for your purchase. I would appreciate if you could create #support item if you have questions like that. Anyway, you can set region by clicking on the "building" icon. (please see screenshot) You can specifcy port by using :port notation, that is if your endpoint is: s3.storage.com then you probably would use something like: https://s3.storage.com for default 443 port or https://s3.storage.com:9000 if you wanted to use port 9000.

Hi, In your case you would need to click Remote button twice, once on the From: side and then on the: To side., instead of using account selector. Sync tool doesn't rely on the account context, you're free to choose any account in From and To and that setting works separately wherever you're currently connected according to the top-right account switcher.

We were hoping to address this sooner, but other features took a lead. I can't promise anything, but we will try to make some move (prepare missing bits required to merge for maintainer review) around April/May and see how it goes.

Ah sorry, my misunderstanding. This isn't really supported by the UI at this stage. We'll need to design it and implement in one of future releases. Perhaps we would allow opening two connections side by side, or implement tabs or something similar.

I would love side by side, if screen size allows (eg on desktop or in landscape mode) and some alternative on small screen portrait mode.

Oh, one more question. How are the accounts saved and synchronised across devices? I just realised that the account information I saved on Android is also available on my desktop.
