Sounds like you never used Dropbox. DB lets you share files or folders with anyone, with read-only or write access, without wasting any time whatsoever with AWS config; With Dropdox you just need a right click.

If you need backup, then use rsync, but Dropbox isn't just backup.

Wasting time on AWS configuration? As easy as:

aws s3 presign s3://<bucketname>/<object>

The original rsync comment, here in this community, does not get the respect that it deserves. If you are a user, maybe you should read this:
