AWS S3 Bucket Management

Manage AWS S3 data stores with Appian! Users can access their S3 objects directly from an Appian interface. Appian documents can be uploaded to a S3 bucket with Server-Side Encryption and be configured as Public or Private.
 
The AWS S3 Connected System Plug-in uses the AWS Java SDK to connect to S3.
