Hello,
I have been using Gladinet for approximately 3 years. I started with the basic free edition and moved on to the Pro, fully paid edition.
It is used primarily for documents and the odd large business presentation. No pictures, movies, or anything more than 5mb.
Whilst it works fine for smaller files (less than 1mb), the software is severely restricted for files over 1mb. It downloads them two or three times before it manages to open them, it is abysmally slow ( one or two minutes to opening), and sometimes it simply does not open them at all. Numerous email exchanges with the support team later, having gone through debates on internet speed, firewall connections, settings, etc, etc, and having found out they were all ok, the concluding remark is “uninstall and reinstall”!!! Even so, problems persist. The software is basically good but is not designed to handle large files.
In summary, if you have small files and want quick access via a “drive”, it works. But do not expect to manage a large file portfolio via gladinet. You will simply end up back using the web portal like you always did before gladinet…

I always enjoy learning what other people think about Amazon Web Services and how they use them. Check out my very own tool CloudBerry Explorer that helps to
manage S3 on Windows . It is a freeware. http://cloudberrylab.com/
It is not competitive but complementary to Galdinet as it allows you to manage all aspects of Amazon S3 storage and CloudFront and it is focused on those services exclusively. I would suggest it to those who want to further explore Amazon S3 and perhaps develop apps on it.
