Last Updated :

AWS Management Console allows you to create a bucket to add an object to it. An object can be any kind of file such as photo, video, text file and more. When you add a photo to Amazon S3, you have the option of including metadata with the file and setting permissions to control to the file. If you are looking for a step by step process to backup photos from computer to Amazon S3, read below.

Following are the steps to Backup Photos from Computer to Amazon S3:

  1. Go to https://console.aws.amazon.com/s3/home & sign in to your account.
  2. Click the name of the bucket that you want to upload photos.
  3. Click "Upload" button.

PicBackMan does exactly what it's supposed to. It's quick and efficient. It runs unobtrusively in the background and has done an excellent job of uploading more than 300GB of photos to 2 different services. After having lost a lot of personal memories to a hard drive crash, it's nice to know that my photos are safe in 2 different places.

LOVE this program! Works better than ANY other program out there that I have found to upload thousands of pictures WITH SUB-FOLDERS to SmugMug! Thank you so much for what you do! :) #happycustomer

I pointed PicBackMan at a directory structure, and next time I looked - all the photos had uploaded! Pretty cool. I use SmugMug and while I really like it, the process of creating directories in is pretty laborious when you need to make 80+ at a time. This was a breeze. Thank you!
