Among the dozens of secondary announcements presented during the June 8 keynote via the so-called 'word cloud' slide — a single frame listing over 260 new features — one caught the attention of developers and professionals: iOS 27 and macOS Golden Gate introduce native support for Amazon S3 buckets directly in the Files app, Finder, and Shortcuts.
This means anyone using AWS S3 to store files, assets, or backups can now access their buckets directly from the system interface, without dedicated apps or WebDAV workarounds. The Shortcuts integration also opens the door to automations that move, rename, or process files on S3 as naturally as operating on the local filesystem.
The announcement was documented by MacStories, which captured and catalogued the entire keynote word-cloud slide. It wasn't highlighted on stage, but for development teams and creative professionals using S3 as a storage backend, it represents a genuine improvement in the integration between the Apple ecosystem and cloud infrastructure.
