2. Right-click the file and select Open from the context menu or simply double-click the file.

Automatic file changes monitoring:

S3 Browser monitors the file for changes while it is open:

  • When the system sends a file change notification, S3 Browser analyzes the file using checksums to detect modifications and uploads the updated file back to the S3 bucket.
  • When the viewer or editor is closed, S3 Browser performs a final checksum comparison and uploads the file again if changes are detected.

This provides a seamless way to work with S3 files directly, with automatic background synchronization of your changes.

File changes automatically uploaded to S3

File changes are automatically uploaded to S3 after editing.
