This chapter shows you how to quickly create and use DreamFactory's REST APIs for SFTP, AWS S3, and more file services using the DreamFactory platform.

DreamFactory provides easy-to-use connectors for various file systems, allowing you to create RESTful APIs for file management operations without writing any code. These APIs can perform standard tasks such as:

- Creating, listing, updating, and deleting folders

- Creating, retrieving, updating, and deleting files

- Converting file formats (such as Excel to JSON)

In this section, you'll learn how to create APIs for:

- [SFTP File Servers](/api-generation-and-connections/api-types/file/creating-an-sftp-rest-api)

- [AWS S3](/api-generation-and-connections/api-types/file/creating-an-aws-s3-rest-api)

- [Converting Excel Files to JSON](/api-generation-and-connections/api-types/file/converting-excel-to-json)

Each tutorial walks you through the configuration process and provides examples of common operations you can perform with these APIs.
