Why TagSpaces for S3?

Traditional S3 clients (AWS CLI, Cyberduck, CloudBerry) are built for sysadmins. TagSpaces makes S3 feel like Dropbox — visual, taggable, and usable by everyone.

Preview everything

Images, PDFs, videos, audio, spreadsheets, Markdown, HTML — all render inline. No downloading, no external apps.

Tag & organize

Add color-coded tags to S3 files. Search by name, tag, type, or date. Bring local-style organization to your cloud storage.

Edit in place

Create and edit Markdown, HTML, and plain text files directly in S3. Take notes, update docs, manage bookmarks — right in the bucket.

No credentials exposed

Generate time-limited sharing links instead of handing out access keys. Files stay secure, recipients get temporary access.

Visual perspectives

View folders as grids, galleries, kanban boards, calendars, or maps — depending on the content. One click to switch.

Self-hostable

Run TagSpaces Pro Web on your own server. Connect to S3 from any browser — phone, tablet, or desktop. No app to install.
