Defining and Managing Files in S3 for QuickSight

Modified on Mon, 11 Nov at 8:35 PM

Creating and placing files into S3 bucket:

  • Go to your AWS console, search for S3 services and select “Create Bucket”
  • Provide a bucket name which needs to be globally unique. Leave the rest of the settings as it is and create a bucket.


  • Create a folder within the bucket and upload your files to that folder. Ensure you create a separate folder for each file pattern.

    For example, if you have three files: groups_202410151011.csv, pricing_202410151010.csvand subscriptions_202410151009.csv, create three folders and place each file in its corresponding folder. In the future, if you need to add groups_202410161011.csv, add it to the groups folder. This will help keep your files organized and easily accessible from quicksight.



Details to be shared with Quicksight developer:

  • AWS Region : where the buckets were created.
  • S3 bucket name.
  • Folder names along with corresponding file names.
  • Does the file contains header.
