For instance, in the payment file of my Google client, you can find details of one-to-one transactions like the payment information on the file header, payment ID, payment client ID, group headers, etc. We get these details into the file format of ISO which is the accepted format at JP Morgan & Chase. Once we get the file format, we process it through S3."

"Amazon S3 can improve by decreasing the overall costs."
"Amazon S3 could improve the performance reports. It would be a benefit if they were more comprehensive."
"I would like a batch downloading option added to the AWS console."
