Thank you. The S3 to HTML and Qgis stream will help a lot of users.

Sorry to be picky, but do you think we can add at the top a short text that explains the difference for the user, and is potentially limited hardware/connection, between downloading and streaming?

The paragraph could land in the "context" paragraph:

"Due to the increasing size of satellite datasets, downloading data directly to your own local disk can be time-consuming and slow. Sometimes, it is better to stream data directly from the cloud without downloading it first. This can be particularly powerful for data that is stored in the Cloud Optimised GeoTIFF (COG) format which is optimised for efficiently streaming small chunks of an image at a time."

The reason I am asking is that for the announcement in the Helpdesk I would like to take as a process to copy and paste the first two paragraphs of the notebook.

Cheers,
