To efficiently manage your data, we recommend using dedicated S3 client software instead of the TasQ integrated file manager. External clients allow for:

Uploading and downloading files larger than 5 GB.
Synchronizing local and remote (bucket) folders.

This document provides instructions for configuring three popular S3 clients: S3 Browser, Cyberduck, and rclone (with Web UI).
