I haven't looked yet, so sorry if it's mentioned, but is there any support for Amazon Glacier integration? If all I want is to make sure my photos are safe, and I'm not interested in really accessing a number of albums, can I select them and have them transferred to my Glacier account? This would be the case for many childhood photos of mine at this point in life.

We don't support Glacier yet. It's a good idea and one I'll run by the team.

I'm not sure why Amazon doesn't have a feature to mirror an S3 bucket to Glacier (which would solve your problem). I imagine they will but for the moment the closest thing they have is the lifecycle feature but it removes the file from S3 once it's moved to Glacier.

Happy to talk it through if you'd like. Drop an email to support@trovebox.com

I love using Glacier for photo archival. Every month, I transfer all the photos of my Android device and my wife's iPhone, zip them, and push to Glacier. It's very manual at the moment, but it's super cheap archival for all my photos.
