Using a phone that hasn't been updated is like playing NBA 2K10 in 2013. Everything works fine, but you're missing all those new features and current rosters. So, when using your Samsung Galaxy S3, try to update as soon as possible to stay current with the Android software. Updating your phone is a fairly straightforward process.

Amazon Simple Storage Service or Amazon S3 makes it easy to store and manage large amounts of data. Enabling tons of operations, from storing and extraction to backup, it’s an easy way to scale and manage anyone’s resources – both on individual and organizational levels.
On Amazon S3, data is stored in buckets, which look like folders that store objects (files) in a folder structure. Similarly to how you structure data on your computer, you can use third-party S3 tools to structure, visualize, and navigate data in buckets. It’s also easy to interact with Amazon S3 buckets through the web console and AWS CLI (Command Line Interface).
To make your workflow smoother, you can additionally employ tools like ForkLift, an Amazon S3 client for macOS. This handy file management app makes connecting, uploading, downloading, and syncing of Amazon S3 buckets more organized and easier.
There are three ways to access AWS buckets via ForkLift’s connect panel:
Once you access the connect panel, fill in the fields:
Once the connection is established, you gain access to your account’s file structure. It looks just the same as the file structure of your Mac, so you won’t have any troubles getting used to the workflow. Create and delete buckets or move files and folders around. External file transferring is also super easy – the app allows you to move files across buckets, Macs, or other accounts.

Setapp enhances Amazon S3 syncing on your Mac with one powerful app that covers it all.
The dual pane outlay of ForkLift makes synchronizing data super convenient, because this way you can see the source and the target folder side by side. To sync, open your source folder in one pane and your target folder in another. After you’ve selected the folders you want to sync, press Command-Option-Shift-S, select Commands Sync to from the menu, or click the Sync button (two circular arrows) in the toolbar to open the Sync panel.
In the Sync panel, you can see two panes which show the content of the folders you’ve previously selected. Next to the panes you can see the settings which you can change to suit your needs. First, you should determine the direction of the synchronization. You can choose between three directions to synchronize items:
To ensure you are syncing into the right direction, always double check the name and the path of each folder at the top of the panes and take a look at the arrows between the two panes.
You can further fine-tune your synchronization by determining if you want to:
The symbols between two panes indicate what happens to files, according to your actions:
If you need to exclude items from synchronization, click on the symbols one by one. Based on advanced criteria, you can also include or exclude files by selecting Filter items and setting up rules. It’s also possible to further customize synchronization by including subfolders or hidden items.
Because ForkLift supports multiple connections to Amazon S3, you can connect to two (or more) different S3 accounts at the same time and sync between them. To synchronize between two accounts, open the first S3 account in the left pane and the second one in the right pane. After selecting source and target folders, choose the Sync command. The process is the same as in case with syncing to a local hard drive. Because all protocols are seamlessly integrated into the app, it’s easy to work with any of them – the workflows are always the same. Nothing beats the speed of ForkLift when it comes to uploading and downloading files to Amazon S3.
If you work with remote files, you should know it’s not only about uploading and downloading – editing and file management are pretty prominent as well. Because many Mac apps can’t open files directly from an S3 bucket, you have to mount cloud storage as a local drive on Mac to access files through your computer’s file system. However, if you mount S3 as a drive on Mac with ForkLift, these files become accessible – also for the apps which only work with local files.
When it comes to scalable data management, Amazon S3 is a great fit. Complement it with ForkLift, which you can try for free on Setapp, and forget about your data pain points.
Meantime, prepare for all the awesome things you can do with Setapp.
