Consider using this Chrome extension over Cyberduck for your projects. This was developed by one of our engineers, Jithendra, in Bangalore and good to get feedback on ease and suitability of purpose over Cyberduck. We are looking to confirm as Gainsight Open Source but that is pending confirmation by the review board. In the meantime, try it out!

I'll cover this in Training material as an option. Would be really neat if we could include this kind of functionality directly within Gainsight too!
This is really super cool!
Feedback:
User friendly
Very easy to establish connections
Easy to UPLOAD/DOWNLOAD/DELETE the files
Swapping to connections is simple
(Just) Improvements required: CLOSE button
Currently, it doesn't allow to close out the connection - only either CONNECT/DELETE.
I feel, with no doubt, can publish.
Thanks for sharing!

Folks who downloaded the plugin before the current update, will be updated automatically. If it doesn't update automatically because of some browser settings.
Follow the steps.
Step 1: In browser navigate to chrome://extensions/
Step 2: Click the button "update extensions now"
Done
How to know whether we have latest update or not ?
After connecting to a bucket, you would be seeing the connection name on the top left corner. Please see the attachement, here "My new s3" is connection name I
have given while configuring the setup.
FYI, for loading files into S3.
I set this up for our Standard Demo org S3 connector and it works well. The one piece to know is the when setting up the connection, the Bucket Name is the path without the leading "s3://". For example, the path for the standard demo org is s3://gsext-oteibtyacch09awccs4nsah7bv/ and the name in the connection details should be gsext-oteibtyacch09awccs4nsah7bv.
Great work Jithendra, this is super helpful and much easier than Cyberduck!

I just tried doing this for Cloudera and am running into issues.
It uploads the file into a strange file path. If I try to go down the normal path (MDA-Data-Ingest/), the file isn't there. But if I go down the new path (/), i find the file. But I can't get the S3 connector to see that file.
Thoughts?
Key here is, when copying over the S3 bucket, do not include any "/". Brent, via Denise, mentioned not having the leading "S3://", but also do not include the post "/".
I think your adding an extra "/" while entering the bucketname in your configuration, drop that connection and try re configuring again. Let me know if you still face any problems.
Hi Team,
Any idea why Chrome extension link is not working anymore? Do we have any alternative ?
Best,
