The S3 console is fine for a look, and slow for real work: one file at a time, no drag from Finder, no Quick Look. DockBird presents a bucket as a folder tree, so uploading a build directory is one drop and downloading a backup is one drag.
Authentication follows what you already have. Paste an access key pair, or choose a profile from your AWS CLI configuration and let DockBird read it from ~/.aws, including profiles that assume a role. Secrets live in the Keychain.
Large objects use multipart uploads and ranged downloads, prefixes can be moved and deleted recursively, and a Storage Class column is one right-click away when you need to see what is in Glacier.
How to connect
- Press ⌘N or click the plus next to Servers in the sidebar.
- Choose the Amazon S3 tile.

- Click Save, then double-click the server. Approve the host key or certificate prompt if one appears.
