CloudBerry Explorer: Introducing Upload Rules

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.  

With this release we are adding the feature that will make it easier to apply predefined settings to the objects.  Now you can optionally enable encryption and compression for selected buckets only.  You can also configure the predefined set of HTTP headers for every upload. this is useful if for instance you use one of the buckets for data backup while other buckets for serving the files on a website.

To enable Upload Rules select Upload Rules from the Tools menu.

In the opened window you can see a list of currently enabled rules.

with Upload Rules you can specify the buckets or object type to compress, encrypt objects

and assigned the predefined set of HTTP Headers.

You can apply the rule to

1.       Any bucket

2.       Any bucket with CloudFront distribution configured

3.       Any bucket except those with CloudFront distribution configured

4.       Specific buckets

you can apply the rule to

1.       all file types

2.       specific file types

3.       all file types except specific file types

For instance you might want to compress all files except  image files as shown on the screenshot above.

Great feature! I think it would also come in handy if I can set ACLs automatically during upload.

Hi,

consider using Bucket Policies instead of ACL, this is more advanced way to configure permissions for the files and they are supported by Amazon S3 natively. Bucket Policy applies to all files in the bucket confirming to a pattern. More info is here

Thanks
