Between providers

Transfer files between S3 providers

Add each provider as a connection and open them in separate panes, each on its own connection, bucket and folder. Select files or folders and drag them across, or copy in one pane and paste in the other.

  • Whole folder trees. Copy a folder and everything under it.
  • A transfer panel. Every file is listed. Stop keeps what already copied, and Retry re-runs only what failed.
  • Copy, never a silent move. A drag across connections always copies, and cut and paste across connections is refused with a message. The source stays untouched until you delete it.
  • Any pair of providers. AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, Backblaze B2, Wasabi, DigitalOcean Spaces, MinIO, IDrive e2 and custom endpoints, in any direction.

Copy files between Google Drive and S3

Drive to S3: open the folder you want the files in and import them from Google Drive with Google's picker. Google Docs and Sheets are offered as .docx or .xlsx first.

S3 to Drive: select files and send them to a Google Drive folder, without downloading them to your computer first. The destination is remembered, so the next send is one click.

You sign in with Google for Drive access. Works with any bucket, on any provider.

Limits

What this is not

Stream Vessel transfers are copies you start and watch. It does not schedule transfers, sync two locations, or keep backups, and it does not rename objects yet. For a one-off migration between providers, or copying a few files into Drive for a colleague, it saves writing a script.

FAQ

Transfer questions

How do I copy files from Cloudflare R2 to AWS S3?
Add both as connections, open them in two panes, select the files or folders in R2 and drag them to the S3 pane, or copy and paste. The transfer panel shows each file and retries failures.
How do I copy files from Google Drive to S3?
Open the S3 folder you want the files in, choose Import from Google Drive, and pick the files in Google's picker. Google Docs and Sheets are offered as .docx or .xlsx downloads first.
Can I send files from S3 to Google Drive?
Yes. Select the files and choose Send to Google Drive, then a Drive folder. Stream Vessel remembers the destination, so the next send is one click. Available in Stream Vessel Cloud and the Chrome extension.
Is this a backup or sync tool?
No. Transfers are copies you start yourself. Stream Vessel does not schedule transfers, keep two locations in sync, or back up storage on its own.
Can I move, rather than copy, between providers?
Between connections Stream Vessel always copies, and cut and paste is refused with a message, so nothing is deleted from the source by a cross-provider transfer. Delete the originals yourself once you have checked the copy. Within one connection, move works with cut and paste or drag and drop.

Open both sides. Drag.
