Working with Multiple Storage Accounts

Your storage credentials are securely stored on your local disk in encrypted form.

To add new account:

1. Start S3 Browser and click Accounts, Add new account.

Advanced account settings

You may configure the following settings here:

Enable Dual-Stack Endpoints (IPv4/IPv6) - When checked, S3 Browser will use dual-stack endpoints to access storage, allowing connections over both IPv4 and IPv6. This improves compatibility with networks that support IPv6.

List All My Buckets When Account Assigned - When checked, S3 Browser will perform the s3:ListAllMyBuckets call when the account is assigned. If the account does not have permission to list all buckets, you can uncheck this option to avoid failed tasks and warnings in the log.

Check CloudFront Distributions When Account Assigned - When checked, S3 Browser will perform the cloudfront:ListDistributions call when the account is assigned, allowing it to set a special icon for buckets used as origins for CloudFront distributions. If the account does not have permission to list CloudFront distributions, you can uncheck this option to avoid failed tasks and warnings in the log.

External Buckets - You can edit the external buckets associated with the account. Each bucket should be listed on a new line. Optional paths are also supported, with a slash used as the delimiter (e.g., my-bucket/and/optional/path).

You can easily switch between accounts by clicking Accounts, Account Name.
