This is a software tool that lets you use it as a file explorer on the cloud storage services of Amazon S3, Nirvanix and Timeline Cloud.

It is a completely free file explorer for the cloud services from Amazon S3, Nirvanix, and Timeline Cloud. The interface is simple and customizable. The file uploads and downloads as well as deletes can be multi tasked. Multiple such operations can be monitored easily. Log history of all operations carried out is available and thus makes the operations quite simple as you would be able to find the reason for problems, if any. Upload/download bandwidth can be throttled, operations will be retried and the up/downloads can be paused and resumed. Cloud Turtle connects you to three different storage services; Amazon S3, Nirvanix and Timeline Cloud. Each service has specific features to help easily access all of your data stored in these locations. As you are able to handle such a rich repertoire of features with this tool, it is advisable that you spend some time familiarizing yourself to be able to use the tool optimally.

The set of features available with the tool vary a bit with the cloud service you are accessing. For example, with Amazon S3 you can upload, download and delete objects and buckets, set bucket policies, set http headers for objects, set the ACL (Access Control List) settings for objects and buckets, set the logging so that the bucket can write logs on another bucket, create buckets and folders, get web URLs and properties for buckets and objects, rename objects, and stream music and videos quite easily. The Nirvanix features are similar. It lets you open documents in Google Docs. Really interesting feature of the Timeline Cloud is that you can stream your media files directly from the storage. It is a simple but a very useful product that lets you interact with the cloud quite well.
