# AWS S3

> Connect your AWS S3 data so your Agents can search and reference it through Knowledge Grounding

Connect your AWS S3 buckets so your Agents can access documents and files stored in Amazon's cloud storage.

<Info>
  Once connected, your Agents can search documents and files from your S3 buckets through [Knowledge Grounding](/overview/platform/knowledge-grounding). You control which Connectors are active for each conversation: toggle AWS S3 on or off from the Knowledge Grounding filter in the chat input bar.

## What your Agents can access

Once connected, your Agents have access to documents and files from your S3 buckets. This content becomes searchable through Knowledge Grounding and is referenced when relevant to your requests.

Your AWS S3 data works alongside your other connected tools and [Vault documents](/overview/platform/vaults) to give your Agents a comprehensive view of your organization's information.
