# S3
|
|
|
|
You can think of S3 as an external mounted harddrive for storing raw binary data
|
|
(images, soundfiles, documents etc).
|
|
|
|
Your use of the S3 service is divided up into **buckets**. Buckets contain files
|
|
and resources. These are just resource names in an online container, the data
|
|
doesn't have any structure beyond that.
|
|
|
|
The primary use of S3 is to store resources that an application needs and/or to
|
|
facilitate the uploading and downloading of resources to and from an
|
|
application.
|
|
|
|
You can set access and authentication conditions for buckets, making the data
|
|
public or restricted.
