The Amazon S3 Connector delivers data files directly to your S3 bucket, enabling flexible data export for custom integrations and analytics workflows.

​
Overview

Unlike advertising platform connectors that format data for specific destinations, the S3 Connector delivers your data as files in your chosen format. This makes it ideal for:
  • Custom downstream processing
  • Integration with data warehouses
  • Backup and archival
  • Feeding other systems that consume files from S3
