File Uploads are heavily used for data exchange between Storage API and other components, import backups, etc. These kind of data may not be kept forever. From now all files are stored for 6 months by default. File can stored permanently by using isPermanent parameter.
Files API can provide temporary AWS credentials for file upload or download. Use the federationToken parameter for upload and for download.
It is handy for integration with other AWS services such as Redshift, you can also utlize existing AWS SDKs for file uploads.
File uploads backend has also been migrated to Elastic search, expect search and tagging capatibilities in near future.
