My VPS has S3 bucket compatibility (Not an Amazon VPS btw)

I'm looking to store files, mostly videos, photos, and document files. Are there any good apps for connecting and using S3 buckets for this?

The reason I want to use buckets its because they're cheaper than me paying for a full VPS, and less time and for me managing cloud storage software such as Nextcloud.

I found Owlfiles for Android to look awesome but is not FOSS.

Cyberduck FOSS and for computers (I'm using Linux), but doesn't give media previews like Owlfiles.

I'm looking replacement for both of these would be appreciated.

There are many options.

I have been looking into this for other reasons: https://codeberg.org/shroff/phylum but it might do the trick for you.

Or this one: https://www.filestash.app/

    You could install Nextcloud on the VPS, configure Nextcloud to store things in S3, and use Nextcloud's apps on the clients. And have Nextcloud provide webdav services and use your client OSs native webdav tooling.

    RClone maybe? https://rclone.org/

    There are some open source rclone android apps like RCX, and on windows/linux you can just use rclone mount to use it like a normal filesystem.

    You can use S3FS to mount an s3 bucket as a folder and use it like a normal FS, however if you're trying to modify files on different systems at the same time you can run into caching issues

    If your VPS’ S3 supports tokenized urls for object management, I’ve considered setting up a homebrew Dropbox-like solution using rsync and cron.
