After uploading 1TB of data from my external drive to S3 failed several times due to my slow internet connection, I started looking for an alternative to transfer large amounts of data to S3.
AWS Snowcone is a device that allows you to transfer data to AWS using a shipping carrier such as UPS.
In this how-to video you will learn how to import data to S3 by ordering an AWS Snowcone device.
