About S3 Explorer
S3 Explorer is a cross-platform desktop application for browsing and managing Amazon S3 and other S3-compatible object storage. It connects to cloud and self-hosted endpoints using provider presets or custom endpoint settings, including region, addressing mode and temporary credentials. Users can navigate buckets, search objects with a local index, upload and download files, and work with object versions, tags, metadata and headers. The app includes text editing and image preview and cropping, as well as tools to rename, move or duplicate objects, generate presigned URLs and review request-usage metrics. Credentials and the search index are stored locally. S3 Explorer is intended for developers, DevOps engineers, system administrators and IT teams that work with S3-based storage across desktop systems.

Amazon S3 Vectors
Amazon S3 Vectors is the first cloud object store with native support for storing and querying vector embeddings at scale, delivering purpose-built, cost-optimized vector storage for semantic search, AI agents, retrieval-augmented generation, and similarity-search applications. It introduces a new “vector bucket” type in S3, where users can organize vectors into “vector indexes,” store high-dimensional embeddings (representing text, images, audio, or other unstructured data), and run similarity queries via dedicated APIs, all without provisioning infrastructure. Each vector may carry metadata (e.g., tags, timestamps, categories), enabling filtered queries by attributes. S3 Vectors offers massive scale; now generally available, it supports up to 2 billion vectors per index and up to 10,000 vector indexes per bucket, with elastic, durable storage and server-side encryption (SSE-S3 or optionally KMS).
