How to sync local folder to Amazon S3 with Dragon Disk

Dragon Disk was my favorite free sync and backup tool to Amazon S3 cloud storage. It runs on my Windows 10, Linux desktop and even Windows Server. We can easily sync or backup our local directory to remote Amazon S3 storage without any pains. Dragon Disk comes with a simple user interface, explorer like file manager.

I think Dragon Disk is the best free S3 client available out there. It supports Windows, Mac, and also Linux.
