AWS S3 Upload

S3 Upload lets you upload files and folders directly from your Switch flow to Amazon S3 or any S3-compatible storage provider — including Cloudflare R2, MinIO, Backblaze B2, and more. Connect to any AWS region or point it at a custom endpoint for third-party providers.

Use it for a wide range of automation scenarios: deliver assets to suppliers, push files to a CDN, or set up automated archiving by combining it with S3 lifecycle rules to automatically clean up files after a set retention period.

When uploading, you have full control over storage class (Standard, Glacier, Intelligent-Tiering, and more), ACL permissions, and MIME type — either detected automatically from the file extension or set manually. Both individual files and complete folder structures are supported.

Enrich your objects with custom metadata and object tags using a simple key=value format, making files easier to find, categorize, and process downstream. Tags are validated against AWS rules (max 10, no reserved prefixes, correct character set).

Optionally generate a presigned URL after upload and store it in the job's private data under a configurable key — making the uploaded file immediately accessible to downstream elements without exposing permanent credentials.
