A month or so ago Amazon launched it’s file storage service named S3. The gist of it: Host all your files in one place, have them be accessible from everywhere and only pay for the storage and bandwidth used. And it very affordable at $0.20 per GB you transfer (upload or download) and $0.15 per GB per month for storage. For you as an ordinary user there’s one glitch though: It’s not designed for you! There’s no (web) interface for uploading, downloading and organizing your files.

This is the exact gap that filicio.us is designed to fix. filicio.us is a simple file storage service built using Amazon S3. You can register for an account with S3, and then use our service for uploading your files, organizing them using tags and sharing them with others. In essence , we’re providing a thin shell between you and S3 — and ajax superpowered one at that — which allows you to actually use S3 for your own purpose.

Now, if you want to know more, have a look at our nice About filicio.us document (this document also details how you can try out the service without signing up). Or if you can’t wait to get started, go to filicio.us and create a free account.
