CloudBerry S3 Explorer supports AWS Import / Export.

Note: this post applies to CloudBerry Explorer 1.7.1 and later.

AWS Import is another Amazon service that allows you to ship a hard drive to Amazon to import your data to Amazon S3. On the other hand with AWS Export you ship your hard drive to Amazon so that they copy your data from Amazon S3 account and ship the hard drive back to you with your data on it. Needless to say if you want to transfer many GB or even TB of data the service is very compelling as it can significantly speed things up. AWS Import/ Export is currently in public beta and you can find more about it (including pricing and supported devices) here

CloudBerry S3 Explorer 1.7.1 and later helps you to configure the whole process with easy to use wizard. New version of CloudBerry Explorer automates the process of creating the manifest file and digitally signing it along with the job identifier with your AWS Secret Access Key and placing that signature file on the device.

You get a new item in the program menu that allows you to run the Wizards.
