— What you get
IDrive e2 buckets as drives.
Buckets mount as drives.
IDrive e2 buckets appear in Finder, Explorer, or your Linux file manager. Open files in any app, save directly back to e2. No upload step.
S3-compatible API.
Same connection setup as Amazon S3. Bucket-scoped mounts, sub-path scoping, ACL awareness — everything the S3 connector does, against IDrive e2.
