AWS S3 Upload speed?

Time:11-22

I'm uploading my files from a project to S3 bucket in AWS. This is my first time uploading a project with AWS so I'm not sure if it usually take this long but its saying it will take over 1 day.

I also have turned on transfer acceleration and turned off everything running in the background which helped but it still seems like a long wait.

Any advice would be really appreciated!

You are uploading a large number of files via a web browser. This would involve overhead for each file and is likely single-threaded.

I would recommend using the AWS Command-Line Interface (CLI) to upload the files. It can upload multiple files simultaneously to take advantage of your bandwidth.

Also, it has the aws s3 sync command, which can recover from failures by only copying files that have not yet been uploaded. (That is, you can run it multiple times.)
