Overall Amazon s3 will be quite expensive for European Users comparatively U.S. users.

But don’t worry, Bucket explorer helps you in cost cutting in your monthly Amazon s3 billings.

Bucket explorer knows which data should be transfer and how:

1. Amazon s3 charges us on every ACL update requests and suppose we are uploading same object which is already uploaded on Amazon s3. Here Amazon resets the ACL permissions while objects are overwritten. But Bucket explorer handles this situation by preserving the previous ACL permissions settings and saves your money.

2. Some times we are uploading same object more than two times. Here Bucket explorer checks and avoid unwanted upload download process and saves your unwanted data transfer. Even prompts you to overwrite with existing one. And If you by mistake clicks on "overwrite" or "Overwrite to all" button, Bucket Explorer will again checks and compare the objects on its bases and upload only those object which are really needed to be uploaded.

So have a Happy Billing :)
