Show HN: I built open source file sharing solution using AWS S3

I'm pretty leery of making the "access key" and "secret key" so public (like typing them into a web page, or setting them in environment variables). Of course it adds significant friction to set up an IAM identity for every user, and "low friction" is one of the key requirements here.

might be fine for internal company use but pasting access/secret key on a third party website will get you a call from security...or worse, won't

Magic Wormhole gives you secure file transmission for free.<p>Give one of the implementations a try: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;psanford&#x2F;wormhole-william">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;psanford&#x2F;wormhole-william</a>

You guys waste too much time building “open” stuff on S3.

Quick Update: I didn&#x27;t expect so many people to show interest in this project. As a few suggested, I plan to add more storage solutions in the next few days.<p>Testing Other Cloud Providers:<p>Backblaze B2 ($5&#x2F;TB&#x2F;month)<p>Wasabi ($6&#x2F;TB&#x2F;month)<p>Google Cloud Storage ($20&#x2F;TB&#x2F;month) - I am ready to deploy to production.<p>DigitalOcean Spaces ($5&#x2F;TB&#x2F;month)<p>Cloudflare R2 ($15&#x2F;TB&#x2F;month)<p>Hetzner Storage ($3&#x2F;TB&#x2F;month)

This seems like such a horrible, insecure idea that would never pass muster at any company I’ve ever worked at

I guess this is for smaller organizations with no MS365 subscription (and thus access to SharePoint)?

I obviously wouldn’t put my key into a third-party site. However, is there any concern with the self-hosted solution? Looks pretty cool and wouldn’t mind using it. Just make a key specifically for this?

Hi! I’m the author of another open-source project in the same space that I’ve been working on for a while: Filestash [1]<p>Were you familiar with Filestash before starting this? If so, was there something specific you felt was missing that inspired you to create your own solution? Would love to hear your thoughts.<p>github: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;mickael-kerjean&#x2F;filestash">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;mickael-kerjean&#x2F;filestash</a><p>demo on s3: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;demo.filestash.app&#x2F;login?type=s3&amp;access_key_id=Q3AM3UQ867SPQQA43P2F&amp;secret_access_key=zuf%2BtfteSlswRu7BJ86wekitnifILbZam1KYY3TG&amp;region=us-east-2&amp;encryption_key=&amp;endpoint=https%3A%2F%2Fplay.minio.io%3A9000%2F" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;demo.filestash.app&#x2F;login?type=s3&amp;access_key_id=Q3AM3...</a>

Nice!<p>Could you tell me why Google Drive didn’t work for you?<p>Google Drive seems to cheaper and has better UX than S3 - $8 for 2 TB (India) - Supports file versioning - 750GB bandwidth per day

New Release is out now<p>&gt; We support 7 cloud providers now. &gt; Beta storage providers are still being tested.<p>Stable: Amazon S3 ($23&#x2F;TB&#x2F;month) Google Cloud Storage ($20&#x2F;TB&#x2F;month) Cloudflare R2 ($15&#x2F;TB&#x2F;month)<p>Beta&#x2F;Testing: Wasabi ($6.99&#x2F;TB&#x2F;month) Backblaze B2 ($6&#x2F;TB&#x2F;month) DigitalOcean Spaces ($5&#x2F;TB&#x2F;month) Hetzner Storage ($4&#x2F;TB&#x2F;month)

Why should I use your solution and not Next cloud, for example?

Hey, looks interesting and practical.<p>Any plans on making it compatible with other s3 implementation (other cloud vendors, local minio.io etc)?
