Wow, unexpectedly surprised at how well it works.
by matyssik·4 years ago

Do not be fooled by small number of reviews. This plugin works super well and even works with the instance profile (no need to supply access/secret keys). It is simple and does the job as advertised, excellent work! Thanks from saving me a ton of time to write my own plugin like that.

Works well
by Ant·7 years ago

Works well and very easy to get going. Occasionally disabled itself when used with other plugins e.g. backupbuddy. Would be nice to store AWS credentials in wp-config.php too.

Otherwise excellent. Thank you.

Works like charm!!!
by freaker2k17·8 years ago

Tried a couple of others until I found this amazing simple plugin !

But After I enter the credentials there should be some screen… I see a blank page :/

But It works!!!
