Bucket Explorer helps you in cutting your cost of storing and transferring data using Amazon s3. Read on to know how?

Using bucket explorer, a user has to pay less because it reduces the number of PUT or LIST requests which are 10 times costlier than the other requests .

For example, in ‘update access control list' of buckets or objects, if a user does not make any change in the permissions and clicks on the ‘save' button, then without using bucket explorer it will be a PUT operation in s3 and the user will have to pay for it. But, using bucket explorer in such case, the PUT operation will not be performed and hence, the user saves money.

Similarly, in case of uploading a file which already exists in a bucket and the contents of the two files are the same, then using bucket explorer, PUT operation will not take place and again you save money. These are some of the examples, where using ‘Bucket Explorer' you can cut the cost of storing and transferring your data with the Amazon s3.
