Finally!! (It works for me, btw.) I can now cross off one of the last two reasons I use Firefox instead of Chrome. The other is Gerrit, which doesn't work in Chrome. A bit of irony there, since Google is the author of Gerrit.

The specifics of the problem: Gerrit allows you to make comments on specific lines of code which are under review. In Chrome, you can double-click to get the text widget up, but can't do anything with it after that (Save, Discard). Google, if you're listening, please fix this!!

It doesn't seem to be working for me. I've got the S3 tab, an empty list of buckets, and everything else is blank. It also seems to be in some sort of redirect loop with a three or four second delay.

Is anyone else getting this?

Edit: eventually I got "Your request to Amazon S3 is taking longer than expected. Customers with slow internet connections may experience initial connectivity issues using the AWS Management Console to manage their Amazon S3 resources. You can refresh your browser and try again. We��re actively working to address this issue." I suppose I'll try again later.

Same here, with 49 buckets on the account; nothing works (tried in Chrome & Firefox).

I recommend sticking to s3cmd in CLI.

Same here with only eight buckets and a couple hundred total objects. Maybe they're just overwhelmed right now...

But isn't that the point of S3? That it can't be overwhelmed?

I tried it out and it worked great, I only have 3 buckets though. As with the first version of anything, there are always kinks that need to be worked out. Great to finally see an official web based tool for managing S3 though!
