CloudBerry Explorer for OpenStack and RackSpace with Http Header editor

It's been just a few weeks since we released an updated version of CloudBerry Explorer for OpenStack Object Storage .  

In this release we are adding an ability to edit Http Headers for files.

To run the Http Header Editor select a file and select Set Http Headers from the context menu.

The Http Headers dialog box will come us. With this tool you can see the list of all existing Http Headers, edit and remove headers and add the new ones.

What’s next

One thing that have been left over in the first release is that ability to configure RackSpace CDN. This is going to become available in the next release. As always we are going to gather user feedback and incorporate it into the product before final release.   

In addition we are going to support self signed SSL certificates for those who roll out OpenStack Swift in their test environment

We are also going to implement a PowerShell interface for OpenStack Object Storage to help users automate their routine tasks.

There are even more exciting features coming. Stay tuned!

How to Edit Multiple Files with CloudBerry S3 Explorer directly from the Cloud

As always we are adding features to make it easier for our customers to use the functionality to offer the most compelling Amazon S3 , CloudFront and IAM client on Windows platform.

In the previous release you could only edit a single files directly from the cloud. E.g. you double click the file and open an associate program to work with it. When you save it the updated version would go directly to the cloud storage.  you could work this way with only one file.

In this release we are adding a feature that allows editing multiple files directly from the Cloud and save them to the Cloud.  e.g. you can have multiple Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, etc open at the same time and when you save them the updated version gets uploaded to the cloud directly.

This feature lays the foundation for using Amazon S3 with CloudBerry Explorer as a document management solution. You can create IAM users, assign policies to work with specific buckets and files, then use CloudBerry Explorer to share the files within your organization.

Note: this post applies to CloudBerry Explorer 3.2.2 and later.

Introducing CloudBerry Explorer for OpenStack and RackSpace

We are increasing the breadth of cloud storage support and we are proud to announce CloudBerry Explorer for OpenStack Object Storage .  

What is OpenStack?

OpenStack Object Storage (code-named Swift) is open source software for creating redundant, scalable object storage using clusters of standardized servers to store petabytes of accessible data. One of the most successful implementation of OpenStack storage is RackSpace CloudFiles  

How CloudBerry Explorer supports OpenStack

First, you register your OpenStack Account.

Once you register your account you can do usual file operations such create folders, copy/move files between OpenStak Object Storage and your local computers. You can also copy files between two OpenStack  accounts.

RackSpace support

To make it easier for the RackSpace users we have added an option to register RackSpace CloudFiles accounts. This is also important as CloudFiles come with some advanced functionality not available in the OpenStack core such as CDN support.

Features

• Register and connect to any number of OpenStack accounts
• Work with any number of OpenStack accounts simultaneously
• Create, browse, and delete OpenStack files
• Create, browse, and delete folders
• Copy and move files between OpenStack and your local computer
• Create Containers
• List Containers
• Update container metadata
• Delete Containers
• Upload/ Download files
• Copy/ Move files
• Delete files
• Rename files
• View files
• Generate URL for files
• View files properties
• Copy/Move in background
• Synchronize folders
• Storage Capacity reports
• Copy files from Windows Explorer
• Remember user settings
• Built-in feedback form
• Automated check for updates

What’s next

One thing that have been left over in the first release is that ability to configure RackSpace CDN. This is going to become available in the next release. As always we are going to gather user feedback and incorporate it into the product before final release.  

We are also going to implement a PowerShell interface for OpenStack Object Storage to help users automate their routine tasks.

There are even more exciting features coming. Stay tuned!

Introducing Continuous Real-time Backup (CDP)

CloudBerry S3 Backup is a powerful Windows program that automate backup and restore processes to Amazon S3 cloud storage.

As always we are trying to make what works best for our customers and in the newer release we are introducing  a Real-time backup option which is also know in the industry as Continuous Data Protection (CDP). With this feature every change to the files will be captured automatically and you don't need to set up a separate schedule for the backup. The software will automatically look for new and modified files and send the copies to the cloud storage in the background.

To enable Real-time backup simple open Backup Wizard and go all the way to the Schedule step. On this step now you have an option to choose Real-time backup instead of the schedule.

Under the hood the changes are captured instantly but the data is uploaded to Cloud storage every 10 minutes. This is a default behavior and you can change that in the options.

As always we would be happy to hear your feedback and you are welcome to post a comment.
