iwSea S3 is an object storage and data synchronization service based upon the MinIO platform. Amazon’s S3 API is the defacto standard in the object storage world. MinIO is the defacto standard for S3 compatibility and was one of the first to adopt the API and the first to add support for S3 Select. More than 750 organizations, including Microsoft Azure, use MinIO’s S3 Gateway - more than the rest of the industry combined.

The MinIO Client, Called mc, is a modern and cloud-native alternative to the familiar UNIX commands like ls, cat, cp mirror, diff, find and mv. This client provides advanced functionality that is suitable for web-scale object storage deployments. For example, powerful data replication tools work between multiple sites for HA (highly availability) and DR (disaster recovery) purposes and support generating shared, time-bound links for objects.

In the last years more and more applications added S3 compatibility to their storage backends. Backup and copy your data using s3cmd, restic, rclone, aws cli. Other applications compatible with S3 are cPanel, WHMCS, cloudberry, etc. We added some useful recipes into our Knowledgebase
