Amazon S3: Upload File

Description

This step uploads a local file to a specified S3 bucket. You can rename the file using a key name, place it in a folder by including the folder path in the key, and choose a storage class (such as Standard, Glacier, or Intelligent-Tiering). You can also set access control permissions for the uploaded file. Use this step in workflows that back up local files to the cloud, publish generated reports to S3, or transfer data between local systems and cloud storage.

Permission

To create or upload an object, the user must have write permission on the bucket.
