macOS

Drag files between AWS accounts.

A two-pane file explorer for Amazon S3. Sign in with the profiles already in ~/.aws, browse buckets across every account and region at once, and drag objects where you want them, including straight out to Finder.

What it does

  • Two panes, any two accounts

    Put production in one pane and a sandbox in the other. Drag between them, between S3 and local disk, or out to Finder.

  • Transfers that outlive your credentials

    Copies are resumable and survive an SSO session expiring mid-flight. Sign back in and the transfer picks up where it stopped.

  • The object operations you actually need

    Storage-class changes, Glacier restores, presigned share links, object tags, versioning, rename, and bucket creation.

  • Sign-in is explicit

    The app never resolves credentials in the background. You pick a profile and press Sign in, and it shows you the account ID and ARN you resolved to.

  • No AWS CLI required

    SSO device-code sign-in is implemented natively. If you do have the CLI, the app shares its token cache, so signing in here signs you in there.

  • Updates itself

    Checks a private release channel on launch and updates in place.

The checkable detail

Developed against a ~/.aws holding 94 profiles across five different credential mechanisms.

The console is not a file manager

Moving a hundred objects from one account to another through the console means a download, a folder on the desktop, and an upload, with the credentials swapped in between. S3 Client shows both accounts side by side and lets you drag.

It respects how your ~/.aws already works. Nothing is copied into the app; it reads the same config and SSO cache the CLI does.
