Hi there

At our company we have our own AWS S3-compliant managed storage system that helps us efficiently run data intensive tasks. Is there an easy way to call up a file or folder in Box and have it sent directly to an AWS S3 server?? If so, how can this be done? If not, does anyone have any recommendations on how this could be integrated?

 

I looked through the Box APIs and didn't see anything related to this.

 

Appreciate the help.

  Hi abdulj,

   

  this is more complicated as you might think because this falls in the domain of CORS (cross-origin resource sharing)

   

  Doing the download directly will fail. However there are ways to do this:

   

  Examine this example:

  which you might adapt and add aws api calls.

   

  Let me know if it worked.
