A step-by-step guide takes you from a free Sia Storage account to a working S3 key. Pithos opens the approval page for you and carries on by itself the moment you approve.
In Theseus, Pithos opens with your vault PIN. Three wrong tries and Theseus asks for your master password instead. Lock the vault and Pithos locks with it.
Create a user per app or person. Issue and revoke keys, copy ready-made config for the aws CLI, rclone or environment variables, and save keys to an encrypted file protected by a password or your Theseus vault.
See which Sia account your storage runs on and give it a name. Switch to another account any time: the old one's users, keys and drives are set aside on your computer, never deleted, and restore with one click.
Your storage looks like a computer: drives that show what they hold, folders that stay put even while empty, and files you drag in. Every new user gets a drive of their own, and a drive can be private or public.
Open pictures, play music and video, and read text files right in Pithos, without downloading them first. Anything else downloads with one click.
All your Sia accounts side by side at the top of Accounts, with the free space on the one in use. Add another account or switch back any time: the old one's users, keys and drives are set aside on your computer, never deleted.
Your storage looks like a computer: drives, folders that stay put even while empty, and files you drag in, shown as icons with picture previews, a list or a detailed table. Rename files, folders and whole drives in an instant, since nothing is uploaded again.
Open pictures, video and text right in Pithos. Music plays in a player docked at the bottom that keeps going while you browse, moves on through the folder, and answers your keyboard's media keys.
Signed links that work without a key and expire after an hour, a day or a week.
See what is still buffered locally, what is already on Sia, and anything that failed. Flush the buffer on demand.
See what is still waiting on your computer, what is already on Sia, and how much room your Sia account has left. Small leftovers go up by themselves after a few quiet minutes, or right away with Upload now.
Move s3d to Silent Mode's server to keep it running with your computer off. Files are encrypted on your computer first, and public folders get a page anyone can open at navigate.st/s3/your-name/drive/.
In Theseus, Pithos opens full-size at pithos.sia/user/drive/folder, signed in while your vault is unlocked, or stays in the sidebar with everything one tap away.
The version sits in the footer. When a new one is out, one click installs it; newer Theseus versions swap it in without a restart.
Install the official s3d release with its checksum verified, and Pithos keeps it running: it comes back after a restart and recovers from a crash by itself. Follow its logs and edit its settings, including redundancy and upload threads.
Built into the Theseus browser. It lives in the left sidebar beside your quick links, opens with your vault PIN, and widens to full window when you need room.
