# Connect data through AWS S3
:::(Info) (šNote)
This document describes how to onboard logs from a **variety of products** into Hunters **through AWS S3**. Click [here](/docs/amazon-web-services-aws) to learn how to onboard AWS logs to Hunters.
:::
:::(Error) (āIMPORTANT 1)
To maintain optimal pipeline performance and minimize the risk of disruptions, we currently support the ingestion of files of up to **50MB** (after compression).
:::
:::(Error) (āIMPORTANT 2)
Please make sure all of your log files has suffix (.csv, .json, .txt, .cef etc..) otherwise - they won't be ingested well and the data source (dataflow) will FAIL.
:::
This guide will teach you how to allow Hunters to access an S3 bucket to retrieve your logs. To complete the connection, follow all of the steps listed below:
1. [Create an S3 bucket](https://docs.hunters.ai/v1/docs/step-1-create-an-s3-bucket)
2. [Direct logs to your S3 bucket](/v1/docs/step-2-direct-logs)
3. [Set up bucket access](/v1/docs/step-3-set-up-bucket-access-2)
4. [Set up S3 streaming](/v1/docs/step-4-set-up-s3-streaming-1)
:::(Info) (š”Tip)
If you don't have access to open an AWS S3 bucket, you can direct this data to a Hunters-operated bucket. [Contact Hunters](/v1/docs/contact-us) to learn more.
