WinCse – Access Object Storage in Windows Explorer (Now AWS, GCP, etc.)

Hacker News

I previously introduced WinCse on Hacker News (original post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43947599 ). At the time, it only supported AWS S3, but this update adds compatibility with GCP, OCI, and more object storage providers! Object storages tested for compatibility: - AWS S3 - Google Cloud Storage - OCI Object Storage - Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage - Cloudflare R2 - Backblaze B2 - Storj DCS - IDrive e2 With WinCse, you can access and manage object storage directly from Windows Explorer as if it were local files. If you encounter any bugs, please report them on GitHub. I also welcome suggestions for improvement and will consider implementation where possible. Give it a try! Bug reports, feedback, and contributions are always welcome.
