Amazon Glacier is an extremely low-cost storage service for infrequently accessed data, which makes it perfect to store data archives or backups.

- Transfer multiple files in parallel

Freeze has no proprietary features: everything is standard and portable.
- No proprietary encoding of archive descriptions
- No proprietary encryption features that would make it complicated or even impossible to use other clients

Please note that you need an Amazon AWS account to use the app.

All standard AWS regions are supported: US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), US West (N. California), Canada (Central), EU (Ireland), EU (Frankfurt), EU (London), EU (Paris), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), GovCloud (US).

It only takes minutes to sign up for Amazon AWS, and you only pay for what you use. Freeze will ask for your Amazon AWS credentials (Access key and secret key) when you first start the app. The secret key will be stored securely in your macOS Keychain.

Brilliantly simple

Brilliant (and I don’t work for them or am connected in any way). It works and takes all the hassle away with Glalcier. The bonus is a simple folder compare function, which highlights what is missing with the original upload source. I use to make glacier held archives of my photo library (made in lightroom). Much easier than loading to S3 and then setting properties to switch them to glacier. Great. Thanks.

Excelent app with first class support

This app is perfect in its simplicity and effectiveness. Amazon Glacier is a fantastic long term cold storage / archival product, but is hard to use because you need to know how to use command line tools, or be a programmer. Freeze gets rid of all these hurdles and once you have set it up with the appropriate AWS credentials archiving to Glacier is as easy as drag and drop.

This app is robust and reliable, everything you could hope for with nothing that will catch you out. On top of this, the support is really first class with bugs and issues being seen to very swiftly.

Highly recommended.
