Amazon S3 - Upload file action (streaming)

The Upload file action (streaming) uploads a file to a bucket or folder in Amazon S3. If a file with the same name and path already exists in that location, uploading a new one overwrites it.

WHICH UPLOAD ACTION SHOULD YOU USE?

The Upload file non-streaming and streaming actions both upload files, but they differ in how they process data and what they return.

• Use the non-streaming action for smaller files where you need a simple confirmation after the upload completes.
• Use the streaming action for larger files or continuous data streams. This action processes the file in chunks and returns the file location instead. This method is better for handling large datasets, real-time processing, or incremental uploads. Learn more about file streaming.
