Explorer is the free product. Drive is the  server paid product.

To make your life easier working with S3 based backups, it would be good to map a local drive to a S3 storage bucket (effectively make it appear like a regular windows drive). 

Cloudberry Lab’s Drive (server edition — US$ 59.99) lets you:

  1. Easily backup to an S3 storage bucket and then restore a database from it.
  2. Map a local drive to the S3 bucket (except for Glacier)

    • Pro Version – features like client-side encryption, compression, multipart upload, multithreading, content compare, upload rules and more.
    • Free version – full support for Server Side Encryption, Lifecycle rules, Amazon CloudFront, Bucket Policies and more. Alternative is to use the AWS Encryption SDK is an encryption library that is separate from the language–specific SDKs. You can use this encryption library to more easily implement encryption best practices in your application. Unlike the Amazon S3 encryption clients in the language–specific AWS SDKs, the AWS Encryption SDK is not tied to Amazon S3 and can be used to encrypt or decrypt data to be stored anywhere.
