Introducing SandCrab: an AWS S3 GUI for MacOS
Note: This post is coming a bit late as I launched SandCrab on Nov 26, 2024 (see the ProductHunt launch here), but I wanted to share a bit about the project.
SandCrab is a new project I am working on. It is an experimental Amazon S3 client for MacOS that allows you to manage your S3 buckets and files through a simple drag-n-drop interface.
I frequently work with AWS S3 for storing and managing files. I found myself wanting a tool that could make working with S3 feel similar to working with files on my Mac.
Here are some of the key features of SandCrab:
- Drag-and-Drop Interface: Upload files to S3 as easily as moving files on your desktop
- Multiple Accounts: Manage multiple AWS accounts and switch between them
- Batch Operations: Upload, download, or delete multiple files at once
- Cross-Bucket Actions: Copy and move objects between two buckets
For the technically curious, SandCrab is built using Electron, and is largely vanilla javascript, css and html under the hood.
I'm actively working on new features and improvements, including:
- Advanced permission management
- File Previews
- Advanced Search
You can download SandCrab from sandcrab.io and try it out. I'd love to hear your feedback and suggestions for making it even better.
