amazon s3 developer free account for testing purposes

Question

I'm supposed to use Amazon s3 in my application to upload/download files. Can anyone guide me if I can have a developer test or sandbox account (free) for development time testing only?

Any reliable library to ease operations using .NET?

And what it'd be if while transferring a file, the connection to amazon s3 server break? Half of file has been transferred and half left... can I resume uploading or downloading, or should the operation be performed from scratch?

Answer 1

As part of the AWS Free Usage Tier, you can get started with Amazon S3 for free. Upon sign-up, new AWS customers receive 5 GB of Amazon S3 storage in the Standard Storage class, 20,000 Get Requests, 2,000 Put Requests, and 15 GB of data transfer out each month for one year.

*Your usage for the free tier is calculated each month across all regions except the AWS GovCloud Region and automatically applied to your bill – unused monthly usage will not roll over. Restrictions apply; See offer terms for more details.

Answer 2

With respect to the free developer question, you have to pay for it. The perks of S3 is that it's very cheap.
