Copy a file from SharePoint to AWS S3 bucket

Posted on 22 Mar 2021 06:05:28 by 20

Hello,

We have a requirement to copy a file from SharePoint document library to an AWS S3 bucket. We want to schedule this to run daily (it’s the same file and we just need to replace the file in S3 bucket with the file in SharePoint).

Has anyone achieved this before? I found some posts that we have to use the SFTP – SSH action for this. Is that correct?

 

These are the only details I have on AWS side :

 

Resource ARN

Bucket Name

Resource Region

Destination Folder

Access Key

Secret Key

 

 

Thank you.

    Automate pushing a file from your local system to Amazon S3 using Power Automate Desktop. @Deesha

    Re: Copy a file from SharePoint to AWS S3 bucket

    If you're already using Microsoft Power Automate , you can leverage it to automate file transfer between SharePoint and S3. There are two options:

    • API Call: Power Automate allows making API calls. You can develop a flow that uses the SharePoint REST API to download the file and then utilize the AWS SDK to upload it to S3.
    • AWS Transfer Family: Setting up AWS Transfer Family creates a managed SFTP server. Power Automate can then be used to transfer files via SFTP to the S3 bucket behind the scenes.

    Also, there are cloud migration tools like Gs Richcopy360 and Cloudfuze that offer data transfer directly between various platforms, including SharePoint and S3 and integrate easily with these clouds. These tools often have user-friendly interfaces and can be configured for scheduled transfers.

    Hi Deesha, I am facing similar use case. Were you able to do it without using the SSH keys to the S3 bucket?

    Hey @eric-cheng 
    For the API way, do we need to download or store the files at some temporary location in between the SharePoint response and AWS S3 PutObject?
