Can we copy data from SQL server to AWS S3 by using Azure Data Factory?

Question

As I know, we can take AWS S3 as a source data in Azure Data Factory.
But I want to know if we can take AWS S3 as a target in Azure Data Factory?

e.g:

I get the source data from SQL Server by using Azure Data Factory, and now I want to copy the data to AWS S3.

Can I do it as the above ?

Hello @Liu, Veronica Siqi ,

Thanks for the question and using MS Q&A platform.

Unfortunately, Azure Data Factory does not support AWS S3 as sink.

Appreciate if you could share the feedback on our feedback channel. Which would be open for the user community to upvote & comment on. This allows our product teams to effectively prioritize your request against our existing feature backlog and gives insight into the potential impact of implementing the suggested feature.

Workaround: You can use custom activity/azure function to write back to S3 for now.
