.aainit file it's fine, but I'd prefer if the app saved the test results locally then deleted the file. I want to be able to write files so I wouldn't use a read-only mode, and we can always create read-only access keys if we want to be sure that's how the app will behave! I'm very interested by the share link expiry slider or date picker though, I never share for 7 days, it's either a smaller duration or permanent.
Cool, I don't mind not having the versioning UI yet, but had to delete my file versions + the trash versions to cleanup my bucket so… yeah, trash is cool but I assume most people who want that have versioning enabled. I assume you already have quite a few buckets on various providers to test your features, but I can provide a MinIO one if it could be of interest.
There was a 2nd folder with an HTML page in it, not sure what it was about but same thing I'd say, that's probably the least expected action from an S3 browser… While I audited the actions and indeed didn't find anything malicious, that could get me assassinated by my colleagues if I ever connected a more important bucket to the app. 
1.aainit file being nuked (delete file itself + all its versions) once the init is done and raw presigned URL sharing 
The Discord server is hard to join from the app since it opens a webview, I'd recommend opening the invite externally so the Discord application can pick it up, or at least the standard web browser.
Trying out the application with MinIO, so far so good, pleased by the rename function that likely performs a copy + delete under the hood. It does what one would expect from an S3 client, no ads either, really liking it. 
Fair enough, we'll plan this in our items along with the slider which needs to be done anyway.
1headObject and get the envelope AES keys.... so it must be a toggle with some warning. It would then simply return the Blob that's stored on S3, regardless of what's inside.

Slider now works, so it's possible to set expiry time shorter than maximum of 7 days. There is an option to use raw preshared URLs.
We've also introduced basic Version UI. It is now possible to preview the revisions. In a next update we will allow opening, preview, deleting and restoring to particular version.
Thank you for these suggestions, they were great and helped us to validate it all !
... and as always we're open for a feedback.

... and we're already finding some versioning implementation differences between providers. E.g. MinIO version restore works differently than Backblaze/Wasabi. There are couple bugs (or features?) when deleting entries that we've found on Backblaze... we'll have to deal somehow with all that... but that's fine 
which extends versioning features, modifies behaviour of copy/rename/move/trash function to seamlessly support versioning and don't duplicate version, also there is an option to restore specific versions or delete object versions to save some space. There is also improved error handling, so in case of an Object Lock there will be an error message and relevant Log which can be viewed by long-tapping the app version number.
Versioning capabilities are configurable in the Settings.
There is a space usage indicator in the left panel / drawer.
There is a new Recent section, which displays all recently modified files.
Search function is improved, so the index is built faster and also includes implicit folder search (e.g. if there is a file: folder/file.txt, but folder/ entry doesn't explicitly exists, it is still searchable)
There is an option to hide files starting with: .
As usual there are couple other performance improvements and bugfixes.
We would love to hear how are you finding new changes and if version management during file operations is what you would expect.
