help Amazon Drive (via AWS) FAQ
Can Amazon S3 replace Amazon Drive?
Amazon S3 can store and synchronize files through software, command-line tools, or backup applications, but it is object storage rather than a simple consumer desktop drive. You must configure access permissions, lifecycle rules, and billing controls yourself.
Is Amazon S3 suitable for large company file storage?
It can scale to very large data sets and integrates with services such as AWS IAM, Lambda, and Glacier storage classes. The tradeoff is operational complexity: storage, requests, retrieval, and data transfer can all affect the bill.
What is the safest way to move files from an old Amazon Drive setup?
First confirm which files are still accessible, then copy them to a local or separately verified destination before closing anything. Keep at least one independent backup and test opening representative files after the transfer.
