Hi community, I have a long-term plan to support S3 and S3-compatible storage, like what Remotely Save does. Currently, the plugin code is strongly reusable to adapt S3.
I need a polling to determine whether the plan is worthwhile. I recommend everyone who sees this participate in the 5-second anonymous polling to allow me to obtain a fair result, no matter you feel interested about S3 or not, thanks

Pros of adapting S3:
- you can use your S3 service for syncing
- S3 will be conceivably faster and reliable than WebDAV
- existing syncing logic will be reused, you will get similar plugin experience
Cons of adapting S3:
- more development effort and potential bugs
- slightly more overhead: S3 is useless for WebDAV users and vise versa, including both backends increases loading time
Note that apart from WebDAV and S3, all proprietary protocols and vendor-specific APIs (OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox) will not be planned in the near future. They add net overhead to the plugin and only benefit a small portion of users.
- I’m using / planning to use S3 service, and I’m glad to see the S3 support
- I don’t know / am not using S3, WebDAV alone already satisfies my needs
