Pull files from S3-compatible buckets onto your own machine
DocEvent polls your S3-compatible bucket — Cloudflare R2, MinIO, Backblaze B2, Wasabi or Amazon S3 — on a schedule and the DocEvent Agent saves each collected file into a local folder on your own machine. Enrolled once, managed from the web console, fully audited.

How S3 Compatible (pull) to DocEvent Agent (on-prem) routing works
Source
S3 Compatible
DocEvent checks your S3 or S3-compatible bucket on a schedule and collects new files — Cloudflare R2, MinIO, Backblaze B2, Wasabi and more.

Files are delivered into a local folder on your own machine by the DocEvent Agent.
1
File arrives via S3 Compatible (pull)
Scheduled polling of any bucket that speaks the S3 API — Amazon S3, Cloudflare R2, MinIO, Backblaze B2, Wasabi, Supabase Storage and friends (custom endpoint URL and path-style addressing supported). Collects from a prefix with filename pattern filtering, then each collected file is deleted or moved to an archive prefix. No bucket notifications or event plumbing needed.
2
Channel routes it
DocEvent's channel server matches the incoming file to your configured route, queues it for delivery, and ensures no file is ever lost — even during downstream outages.
3
Delivered to DocEvent Agent (on-prem)
The agent connects outbound over TLS — no inbound ports to open — and writes each delivered file into the folder you pick from the web console. Every file is acknowledged, so restarts and dropped connections never lose or duplicate one.
Common use cases
Real workflows that teams automate with a S3 Compatible (pull) → DocEvent Agent (on-prem) channel.
- Collect partner bucket drops into a local folder — no download scripts
- Land R2, B2 or Wasabi files on the machine that processes them
- Manage the collection schedule and delivery folder centrally from the console
- Keep an office server in sync with a bucket prefix — no VPN required
The two ends don't have to be the same company — invite a customer or trading partner into the channel and they run the S3 Compatible (pull) or DocEvent Agent (on-prem) side under their own account, with their own credentials. Learn how shared channels work.
