Connect Amazon S3 to the Tools Your Teams Use Every Day

CI HUB now supports Amazon AWS S3 as a connected content source.

This means that if your organization stores digital assets or files in Amazon S3, your teams can access them directly from the applications they already work in - just as they would with a supported Digital Asset Management system, cloud storage provider, or other connected content source.

Instead of keeping Amazon S3 separate from daily workflows, CI HUB helps make stored files available where they are actually needed!

What is Amazon S3?

Amazon Simple Storage Service, better known as Amazon S3, is one of the world’s most widely used cloud object storage services. It enables organizations to store large amounts of data securely and reliably, with high scalability, availability, and flexible storage options. Files are stored in S3 buckets and can be accessed whenever they are needed. 

For many organizations, Amazon S3 is a practical way to store and manage growing volumes of files without having to build or maintain their own storage infrastructure. But storing files is only one part of the process.

When users need to work with those files, they often still have to leave their current application, open a browser, search through buckets, download the right file, and then place it into their project manually. That is where the CI HUB integration comes in.

How the CI HUB integration works

With the CI HUB Connector Family, Amazon S3 can be connected directly to the applications your teams use every day, including Adobe Creative Cloud, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, ChatGPT, and other supported platforms. 
 
Users can open CI HUB inside their application of choice and browse, search, preview, and place Amazon S3 assets directly into their work. That means fewer browser tabs, fewer manual downloads, and less switching between tools. 
 
The experience is consistent with the way CI HUB connects to more than 60 supported Digital Asset Management systems, cloud storage providers, and content sources. Amazon S3 becomes another connected source that is available inside the applications where work is already happening.

Work with Amazon S3 assets more efficiently

If your organization already uses Amazon S3 for file storage, the CI HUB integration helps make those assets easier to access and use in daily work. Your teams can: 

• Search Amazon S3 assets without leaving their current application.

• Browse folders and preview files directly from the CI HUB panel.

• Place assets into creative, marketing, and business documents.

• Reduce unnecessary downloads and application switching.

• Keep teams focused on their work instead of searching for files across different systems. 
  

Whether someone is designing in Adobe Photoshop, building a presentation in PowerPoint, writing a proposal in Microsoft Word, or collaborating in Google Docs, Amazon S3 assets can now be accessed directly from within the tools they already use.

How the CI HUB integration works Bringing stored assets into daily workflows

Amazon S3 is a powerful platform for storing files securely and at scale. CI HUB extends that value by making Amazon S3 assets available inside the applications where teams create, collaborate, and deliver content. 

Your files can remain stored in Amazon S3 - while your teams access and use them directly in their everyday workflows.
