Summary
Currently, managing files across various cloud storage platforms (AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage, MinIO, etc.) often requires using platform-specific consoles or separate tools. This fragmented approach increases context-switching, complicates data management, and makes it difficult to get a holistic view of distributed file assets.
Solutions
