Amazon S3 Is Much More Than Just File Sharing
Overall Satisfaction with Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service)
We use Amazon S3 for a variety of forward facing and back-end processes across our organization. From sharing data internally to sharing buckets with partners and clients, S3 buckets are easy to setup, use, access, and manage. Sharing data outside of our organization safely, allowed us to remove older antiquated processes, applications, and services that we previously used ultimately saving us money. S3 is also the most inexpensive way to house large amounts of data across our organization. We continue to find new ways to utilize S3 for everything from simple to complex tasks.

Amazon S3 has so much other functionality than it's competitors with so many more use cases. We use One Drive, Drop Box, Teams, Google Drive and other products for basic file sharing while working with partners and clients but that's kind of the extent of those products. S3 has so many additional use cases that have helped us not just stay organized but save us money.
