We are glad to announce that CloudBerry Explorer v2.8 supports Mutipart API for copy objects. A few weeks ago Amazon S3 added an option to copy large objects using Multipart API and you can now copy objects up to 5 terabytes. We have integrated this option into CloudBerry Explorer. Whenever you want to copy an object that is large than 5MB, the Multipart API will be used providing for more reliability and better performance. Using Multipart enables you to copy many parts of the object in parallel making the copy operation faster for theses large objects.

Introducing CloudBerry Backup for Google Storage
CloudBerry S3 Backup is a powerful Windows program that automate backup and restore processes to Amazon S3 and a few other leading cloud storage. With the release 2.2 we are introducing backup to Google Storage for Developer.
The integration work as seamless as it could. You just choose the account of your favorite Cloud Storage provider on the backup plan wizard.
If you don’t have an account registers yet you should register it as shown on the screen below. If you are an existing CloudBerry Explorer for Google customer you will be able to import your existing accounts.
The rest works just as if you were using another cloud storage provider.
How to find Google Storage keys
To get the Access and Secret keys go to Google Storage for Developers website and click Activate Google Storage button. it is kind of weird that you have to click it every time even though you have activated Google Storage before
Scroll down to Google APIs Console at the left side navigation and click on it. this will get you to the APIs console. Now click Legacy Access and you will see the keys in the list. Just copy Access and Secret keys to the form above. See the screen below.
As always we would be happy to hear your feedback and you are welcome to post a comment.

CloudBerry Backup: Introducing Virtual Drive
CloudBerry S3 Backup is a powerful Windows program that automates backup and restore processes to Amazon S3 cloud storage.
As always we are adding features to make it easier for our customers to use the functionality and the Virtual Drive has always been one of the sought after features. with the CloudBerry Backup release 2.2 we are adding the functionality that will expose Amazon S3 storage as a local disk.
To map a network drive just Go to File | Accounts and select an account. Go to the Virtual Drive tab, select one of the available drive letters and click ok.
Now you can see the new drive in the system and use any file management tools such as Windows Explorer to work with it.
Note: currently the data is only available in the read-only mode. In other words we suggest to use it if you need fast access to your backup storage and want to copy certain files back to your local disk.
The virtual disk works with Windows XP/Vista/7 and Windows Server 2003/2008/R2 32 and 64 bit.
As always we would be happy to hear your feedback and you are welcome to post a comment.

CloudBerry Explorer for Google Storage - OAuth 2.0 support
As always we are trying to stay on top of the new functionality offered by Google Storage team to offer the most compelling Google Storage client on Windows platform.
With the newer release of CloudBerry Explorer for Google Storage we are adding a support for OAuth 2.0 which is the new recommended Google Storage authentication and authorization scheme. OAuth 2.0 is an industry standard that Google has adopted across their products, offering many benefits.
Configuring CloudBerry Explorer for OAuth 2.0
Go to File | Google Storage accounts in the program menu. Click Add and select OAuth 2.0 for Authentication:
To get the rest of the data go to the API Console and click API Access link on the left. Make sure OAuth 2.0 is on. You might need to enable it on the same page.
Copy Client ID and Client Secret to the form above
To get the Project ID click Google Storage | Storage Access link on the left.
Authenticating Users
Then once you try to access the storage or click Test Connection button a window will open asking for a Google Account, if you are already logged on with your Google Account , to GMail for instance, all you will have to do is to Allows the access to the application.
Note: the users don't authenticate against CloudBerry Explorer, they authenticate against Google Storage.
Granting Access to the users
To grant access to other users to Google Storage click to Team link on the left side of the API Console. then add the names of the Google accounts of the people you want to grant access to the storage. there are three access type to choose from Can View, Can Edit and Is Owner
Final notes:
It looks like OAuth 2.0 requires a lot of redundant information but in the real world apps Client ID, Client Secret and Project ID should be embedded into the application and the users will only require to enter their Google IDs. You might still use access and secret key, but they are considered now to be a legacy authentication scheme now.
In the near future we are going to add an option to easily deploy Project ID, Client ID, Client Secret to make it easier to share files with CloudBerry Explorer within a Google Storage project.
