Introduction

To begin our discussion on file storage and transfer, it is essential to understand the historical challenges associated with these processes. In the past, managing file storage and transfer presented significant hurdles primarily due to the intricacies of setups and the limited flexibility traditional systems offer. This often resulted in inefficiencies, making it difficult to maintain data integrity and accessibility across various systems.

However, with the advent of cloud computing and the emergence of AWS services, a notable transformation has occurred in this domain. Cloud computing offers scalable and flexible solutions that address the shortcomings of traditional approaches.

To address these issues, AWS provides services designed to simplify file storage and transfer processes. Among these services are Amazon FSx, Storage Gateway, and AWS Backup.

In this section, we’ll explore the most important AWS services we can use for File Storage and Transfer.
