  • File content preview
  • Low cost storage

Amazon S3 is very flexible and easy to use even for team that are not tech skilled.

Using Amazon S3 with other AWS database solutions such as Redshift permits that your data files can be stored at S3 and make it 'readable' using simple SQL queries (using Redshift Spectrum). This is the best usecase we found in order to store processed files and make them easy to consult.
