What is eZs3 and What Does it Do?

Although Amazon provided a fantastic service, S3 was very difficult to use for the vast majority of people who are online today.

A number of tools were available to web users that allowed them to easily transfer their files to Amazon S3.

But what then?

How do you get the media files onto your website?

Enter eZs3!

eZs3 is a service which allows you to fully manage your own S3 account, including uploading and downloading files and folders, and creating players and wrappers that you can easily use to embed media files on your website.

Upload and Download Your Files

We have developed a simple uploader applet which allows you to navigate through folders on both your local PC, and your hosting account at Amazon S3, and use drag-and-drop to simply transfer files between the two.

  

Create Folders

S3 allows you to create up to 100 individual folders within your account to help organise your files. eZs3 makes it easy to create these folders, including choosing the location.

  

Delete Files and Folders

When you've finished using a file or folder on your S3 account, and are sure that you will no longer need it, eZs3 makes it a straightforward process to delete, so you no longer have to pay for hosting you do not need.

Control Access to your Files and Folders

S3 combines inexpensive storage with full access control for the files and folders stored on your account. eZs3 allows you to easily modify these access policies giving you complete control over who can view your content.

  

Create Players and Wrappers for your Media Files

eZs3 allows you to create players and wrappers for you media files, and easily embed them in your website using a simple javascript command. eZs3 currenty supports Flash FLV Videos, Mp3 Audios, Windows Media Videos, Quicktime Movies, Adobe PDF Documents, and Camtasia Studio Productions.

  

Track the Popularity of your Files to Optimize your Online Marketing Potential

eZs3 tracks how many times your video has been viewed, on any website it has been embedded on. This allows you to track the popularity of your videos and make changes to your online marketing strategy to suit.

  

It also allows you to quickly identify whenever someone else has embedded your content on their site, so you can ask them to stop, or open up a whole new business channel.
