01
What is S3Panel?
S3Panel is a web and native app workspace for browsing, searching, transfers, preview, metadata editing, quick share links, and safely managing S3-compatible and Cloudflare R2 buckets.
faq
Clear answers before users connect real S3 and R2 buckets.
The FAQ page answers the questions buyers, App Store users, and storage teams ask before trusting an S3-compatible bucket manager with provider credentials.
Storage support
Amazon S3, Cloudflare R2, MinIO, Wasabi, Backblaze B2, DigitalOcean Spaces, Hetzner, Scaleway, Akamai, and custom endpoints.
Data boundary
S3Panel is a control surface; customer object bytes stay in the connected storage provider.
Platform access
The web app, macOS app, iPhone, and iPad are live. Windows and Android are planned next.
answers
The short version: keep credentials scoped and files with your provider.
S3Panel is built to make repeated object storage work calmer, but your storage account permissions remain the real source of authority.
02
Which storage providers does S3Panel support?
S3Panel supports Amazon S3, Cloudflare R2, MinIO, Wasabi, DigitalOcean Spaces, Backblaze B2, Hetzner Object Storage, Scaleway, Akamai Object Storage, and custom S3-compatible endpoints.
03
Does S3Panel store my bucket files?
No. Customer object bytes remain in the connected storage provider. S3Panel acts as a control surface for metadata, search, and file operations.
04
Can S3Panel search large buckets?
Yes. S3Panel is designed around manifest-backed search and folder stats so teams can find objects and understand large buckets more quickly.
05
Does S3Panel include a transfer manager?
Yes. S3Panel includes task and transfer history for uploads, downloads, archive work, share-link creation, metadata saves, and related storage operations.
06
Can S3Panel edit S3 object metadata?
Yes. S3Panel supports editable object properties such as content type, cache-control, and custom metadata when the connected storage credentials allow metadata updates.
07
Is S3Panel available on Mac and iPhone?
Yes. S3Panel is available on the web, macOS, iPhone, and iPad. Windows and Android are planned next.
08
Should I send S3 secret keys to support?
No. Never send S3 secret keys, API tokens, or bucket credentials by email or contact form. If credentials may be exposed, rotate them in your storage provider dashboard.
09
How is S3Panel different from general file transfer clients?
S3Panel is focused on S3-compatible object storage workflows: bucket browsing, object search, folder stats, transfer history, file preview, temporary sharing, metadata editing, and permission-aware file operations.
still deciding?
Start with a test bucket and a least-privilege key.
That gives you a realistic S3Panel trial without exposing production storage more broadly than needed.
