Upload Files to Amazon Glacier With CloudBerry Explorer

CloudBerry Lab released CloudBerry Explorer v.3.6, an application that allows users to manage files in Amazon S3 just as they would on their local computers.

In the new release S3 Explorer comes with support for Amazon Glacier, the recently introduced  low-cost storage. Optimized for backup and archiving it becomes a supplement to Amazon S3 storage costing as little as $0.01 per GB per month.

Amazon claimed Glacier to be as reliable as its original S3 solution but with longer data retrieval time. From the new release CloudBerry S3 Explorer users can access and manage Glacier storage. Users can create vaults, move data to vaults and request to download them back to their computer.

Users can create vaults in any of the available AWS regions.
