    S3 advertises itself to be for file storage not just "inter-agency" data transfers hence the Glacier setting, It has several shortcomings. One of the biggest is no files over 5GB can upload but I have been using it since forever and don't want to change. For some reason they put me on the West server IDK why

    Proof is in the pudding: https://s3-accelerate-speedtest.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com/en/accelerate-speed-comparsion.html

    Shows you the difference between direct upload and upload using the technologies I mentioned before (aka how the companies that actually do storage as a service do it).

    Then you've got people intentionally abusing the system just because they can:

    You're using one piece of the machine to try to do what you see services like MSDN and Dropbox do. It's like trying to drive a car on 3 flats and 1 good tire. Or with only 1 cylinder working in the engine. But I've spent enough time worrying with this honestly.

    Note: In general, the farther away you are from an Amazon S3 region, the higher the speed improvement you can expect from using Amazon S3 Transfer Acceleration. If you see similar speed results with and without the acceleration, your upload bandwidth or a system constraint might be limiting your speed.
