Hi,<br />
<br />
I have an EC2 instance, as well as a S3 bucket.<br />
<br />
I have mapped to the S3 bucket from the EC2 instance successfully, using a third party app called ExpanDrive, it maps as a Z drive.<br />
<br />
I have done the same from my local PC. Also mapped as a Z drive.<br />
<br />
I can save a file into my new Z drive, and it appears immediately in the corresponding Z drive on the server.<br />
<br />
Problem is, the document management system we have installed on the EC2 instance has an automated collection facility where it collects and ingests any files dropped into the shared folder, but it is failing. Log files say it is access denied.<br />
<br />
We tried running the application as administrator - no change.<br />
<br />
Can an AWS guru please advise on what might be necessary here?<br />
<br />
Many thanks in advance.

Cannot collect documents from a mapped drive from S3 bucket

A Document Management System (DMS) is a system (both hardware and software) used to track, manage and store documents and reduce paper. Most are capable of keeping a record of the various versions created and modified by different users (history tracking). It is often viewed as a component of enterprise content management (ECM) systems and related to digital asset management, document imaging, workflow systems and records management systems.

Document Management

Amazon Web Services (AWS), is a collection of remote computing services, also called web services, that make up a cloud-computing platform  operated from 11 geographical regions across the world. The most central and well-known of these services include Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud, also known as "EC2", and Amazon Simple Storage Service, also known as "S3". Other services include Elastic MapReduce (EMR), Route 53 (a DNS web service),  provides a highly available and scalable Domain Name System (DNS) web service, Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), storage, database, deployment and application services.

A personal computer is a general-purpose computer whose size, capabilities and price make it useful for individuals, and is intended to be operated directly by an end-user with no intervening computer time-sharing models that allowed systems to be used by many people, usually at the same time. Personal computers may be connected to a local area network (LAN), either by a cable or a wireless connection, and through that to the Internet. A personal computer may be a laptop computer or a desktop computer running an operating system such as Windows, Linux or Macintosh OS.
