Advanced

The Advanced tab of the drive settings dialog provides access additional settings which are not commonly used.

Allow all users access to the drive

This option controls whether drives are visible to other users on the system. When checked (default), drives are accessible by all users on the system. When unchecked, the drive is only accessible by the account under which S3 Drive is running.

Note: this setting should not be disabled when running as a Windows Service. When running as a Windows Service with sharing disabled only the identity of the Windows Service itself will be able to access the drive (typically the Network Service identity). For more information see Shared Drives.

Use SSL/TLS

This setting specifies whether SSL/TLS is enabled for the connection. The default value is enabled.

Use Virtual Hosting

This setting specifies whether the buckets are addresses in requests using the S3 Virtual Hosting format. This is enabled by default, and recommended unless there is a specific reason to disable this setting (for instance when using a custom provider).

Cache Settings

See Caching Information for more information.

Cache Directory

This setting specifies the location on disk where data will be stored. This is populated automatically, but may be changed if desired.

Max Concurrent Uploads

This setting specifies the maximum number of simultaneous upload operations that can be in progress at any time. The default value of 8 should work well in most cases. Large values in this setting will increase the number of simultaneous threads in the upload operation.

Max Concurrent Downloads

This setting specifies the maximum number of simultaneous downloads that can be in progress at any time. The default value of 8 should work well in most cases. Large values for this setting will increase the number of simultaneous threads in the download operation. Note: Using a large value may result in intermittent errors from the S3 service which will result in the upload/download operation being retried.

Enable Cache For Reads

This setting controls whether the requested content will be stored locally to speed up subsequent read operations against the files.

Directory (Metadata) caching

This setting controls the lifetime of files and directories returned during directory enumeration. Additionally, it controls the lifetime of metadata serviced from the cache. Low values for this setting means the cache contents expire quickly and will be fetched from remote storage more frequently. High values for this setting will provide a more responsive experience browsing the virtual drive. The default vaule of 30 seconds should work well in most cases.
