    Can you specify what you mean by "storage with s3"?

    I mean if appian has its own sftp box to manage documents, apart from the sftp options to connect to external ones like with aws s3.

    Appian doesn't really have any "box" - i'm wondering if you're confused about what Appian is, and isn't...

    There are a few plugins in the app market around S3.

    Yes, but from what I understand that is for appian to connect to them. My question is if appian itself has its own box with some file transfer protocol.

    No, Appian does not. But you can easily implement web APIs to send and retrieve files to/from Appian.

    You can use 'AWS S3' plugin to connect from Appian to AWS S3.

    You can refer this post for configuring user, role and bucket policy for private vpce connection.

    Hi, 

    Appian itself does not provide built-in S3 storage capabilities or a native "box" for file storage. However, it offers robust integrations with external storage solutions like AWS S3 through plugins available on the Appian AppMarket. You can utilize the AWS S3 plugin to connect Appian with AWS S3, allowing you to store and retrieve documents. This setup requires configuring specific AWS users, roles, and bucket policies to establish a secure and private connection.
