Am azon S3
Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) is an online storage web service offered by AWS (Amazon Web
Services). It provides a simple web services interface that can be used to store and retrieve the
data from anywhere on the web. With Amazon S3, you can upload the data from your NAS to
Amazon S3 or download the data from Amazon S3 to your NAS.
Note that you need to register an AWS account from http://aws.amazon.com/ and pay for the
service. After signing up for an account, you need to create at least one bucket (root folder) on
Amazon S3 by an Amazon S3 application. We recommend the Mozilla Firefox add-on ‘S3Fox’ for
beginners.
