What is Amazon WorkDocs?
Amazon WorkDocs is a fully managed, secure enterprise storage and sharing service
with strong
administrative controls and feedback capabilities that improve user productivity.
Files are
stored in the cloud
Users can share their files with other members of your organization for collaboration or review. The Amazon WorkDocs client applications can be used to view many different types of files, depending on the Internet media type of the file. Amazon WorkDocs supports all common document and image formats, and support for additional media types is constantly being added.

-
A web application used for document management and reviewing.
-
Native apps for mobile devices used for document review.
-
A document synchronization app used to synchronize a folder on your macOS or Windows desktop with your Amazon WorkDocs files.
-
Web clipper browser extensions for several popular web browsers that allow you to save an image of a webpage to your Amazon WorkDocs files.
