What do you like best about Amazon S3 Glacier?

I like that Amazon S3 Glacier provides cloud storage for files like images, PDFs, and videos, offering a URL for easy access. We can sign the URL to ensure that only authenticated users can access the media, adding a layer of security with options for both private or public access and setting policies for bucket permissions, which is very good. The charges are very low, and we can access stored files anytime, anywhere. It's very easy to interface with S3 through the AWS SDK for setting up folders and storing media, and I can use command line access if the credentials are in place. I find the security features, like the ability to have private URLs and set bucket policies, as well as the folder organization for different media categories, beneficial. The ability to use CLI to access and manage media, and even integrate with tools like VS Code for creating folders and storing media through code, is something I enjoy. Overall, the initial setup of Amazon S3 Glacier is easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon S3 Glacier?

In S3, we need to follow a two-step process to view uploaded media, but I want easy access without going into too much detail. It's a bit lengthy as we have to open the media and then find the URL to view it. I want to be able to view it from the initial stage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Amazon S3 Glacier solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Amazon S3 Glacier for secure, low-cost cloud storage of media files, accessible anytime via URL. It offers signed URL functionality for authenticated access, and it's easy to organize files into folders. The setup is straightforward, making it efficient for storing and managing media.
