S3 Drive - Mount your Amazon S3 Space as a Windows Network Drive

Amazon S3Drive

"Access Amazon Storage Service S3 with SUCHWERK technology.

Amazon offers with S3 a 'infinitley large large web storage', why not using this space as a 'infinitely large disk device' and getting a great backup/share device almost for free.

All you need is a file system driver to access the S3 storage easily, here comes the S3Drive software in place. It simulates a local network drive but actualy stores the files on the S3 space. You can handle it like any other network drive on a Windows machine. It works in a DOS box and can be access from every program or any programming language that can access files.

Check it out, it's free!

..."

That's kind of cool.

I do wish the source was available so I could do a security review on it (that and more importantly see how they are using .Net to implement this... ;)

In any case, this something to keep an eye on as it moves toward release...
