A law firm has an internal tablet/mobile application used by employees to download large word documents in their devices for offline review. These document’s size are in the range of 10-20 MB. The employees save the document in local device storage, edit it in offline mode and then use the feature in app to upload file to cloud storage.

- Use Multipart upload to upload the files to S3
- Use Amazon S3 Transfer Acceleration to upload the files
- Use Single POST operation to upload the files to S3
What are the recommended scenarios to use multipart uploading to S3? Choose 2.
