Transforming S3 into a modern document management platform

Amazon S3 is powerful, scalable, and cost-effective — but managing documents, users, permissions, and workflows directly on object storage can become complex.

Yarkon adds the missing layer that turns S3 into a secure, user-friendly document management system — without requiring expensive migrations or custom development.

Why We Built Yarkon

Amazon S3 changed how organizations store data. It is scalable, durable, and cost-effective — but it was never designed to be a complete document management solution.

Teams still need secure sharing, access control, organization, previews, and collaboration.

Yarkon was created to bridge that gap.

Our Mission

Our mission is to make enterprise-grade document management accessible without the complexity and cost traditionally associated with it.

We believe organizations should be able to use their existing cloud storage investments while giving users a simple and secure way to work with their data.

We proudly support non-profits and academic institutions with discounted access to Yarkon.

Our Story

Yarkon started from a simple observation: organizations were storing more and more data in S3, but accessing and managing that data remained unnecessarily difficult.

What began as a solution for making S3 easier to use evolved into a complete document management platform — bringing enterprise capabilities directly to cloud storage.

The current version is based on an architecture originally released in June 2017, and is continuously evolving together with the many new features introduced by AWS over the years.

From Storage to Knowledge

Today, Yarkon helps organizations:

• Manage documents securely
• Control access by users and roles
• Reduce operational overhead
• Enable non-technical teams
• Use AI to extract value from documents

Built on AWS S3

Yarkon works with your existing S3 infrastructure, preserving your security model and keeping your data under your control.

Yarkon is a web based front end for AWS S3 and compatible storage systems. It is fully integrated with IAM and offers a user experience similar to Windows Explorer. With Yarkon, any user in the organization can use S3 for document storage, and there is no need to create IAM accounts for each user.

Yarkon makes cloud object storage accessible to non-experts while preserving enterprise security and policy controls.

Yarkon can be used together with any S3-compatible storage system, based on the AWS features it supports.
