Two Excellent Tools for AWS S3 and Google Docs

I wanted a way to mount Google Docs and an Amazon Web Services S3 bucket as local drives on Windows. This makes life a lot easier when moving things in and out of these repositories.

These two are very good:

Memeo Connect for Google Docs ($9/user per year)

TntDrive for S3 ($39.95 with discounts in volume)

Each mounts a local disc on Windows that works like any other disc in Explorer. Memeo Connect is available for lots of platforms including Mac, iPhone and iPad; not for Linux apparently. A Memeo user license covers all clients the user uses.
