Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides Amazon S3, a secure and scalable cloud-based object storage service. It allows you to store and retrieve data from anywhere via a web interface or API.

- Navigate to Sources → Files from the left-hand menu.
- Click on the “AWS S3” connector tile.
Choose Data Entity

Provide AWS S3 Credentials
Enter the following details so Datahash can access your data:
- S3 Bucket Name – Unique identifier of your storage container.
