S3 Browser (Windows)

This documentation was created for S3 Browser v12.2.9

Step 1: Open the S3 Browser app When you open the app for the first time, the Add new account wizard will open automatically; if it doesn't, you can add a new account from the Account menu.

Step 2: Configure a new account using the Add new account wizard

Using the Add New Account wizard

See the Your credentials page for instructions on where to find your credentials.

• Display name: an easy-to-remember name for this connection. E.g.: DataCamp Data Connector

• Account Type: Amazon S3 Storage

• Access Key ID: The AWS Access Key ID from the Data Connector Settings

• Secret Access Key: The AWS Secret Access Key from the Data Connector Settings

• Enable Use secure transfer

• Click Add new account

Step 3: S3 Browser will now try to connect to your S3 bucket but won’t have access to list all buckets. You will need to manually add an external bucket. The application will prompt you to add an External Bucket now. Click Yes on the following dialog:

Enter the S3 Bucket Name from the Data Connector Settings in the Bucket name field, and click Add External bucket.

Step 4: You have successfully connected S3 Browser to your S3 bucket. Visit the csv directory to view and download the CSV files.

Note: Downloading your data can also be automated via a script. Most popular programming languages allow you to automatically read files from an S3 bucket and save them to your local drive, meaning you would no longer need to download the files manually.
