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.
