+## S3 storage class
+
+When the write `path` is an S3 URI (`s3://...`), each object is uploaded with the configured `storage_class`. The same class applies to the optional `success_file` marker in that task.
+
+Allowed values are the **PutObject storage class** strings known to the AWS SDK in this build (invalid values fail when the task runs). Typical values include:
+
+| Value | Notes |
+|-------|--------|
+| `STANDARD` | Default |
+| `REDUCED_REDUNDANCY` | RRS |
+| `STANDARD_IA` | Infrequent access |
+| `ONEZONE_IA` | Single AZ IA |
+| `INTELLIGENT_TIERING` | Intelligent-Tiering |
+| `GLACIER` | Glacier Flexible Retrieval (instantiation rules apply) |
+| `DEEP_ARCHIVE` | Lowest-cost archive |
+| `GLACIER_IR` | Glacier Instant Retrieval |
+| `EXPRESS_ONEZONE` | S3 Express One Zone |
+| `OUTPOSTS` | S3 on Outposts |
+| `SNOW` | Snowball / Snow Family edge |
+| `FSX_OPENZFS` | FSx for OpenZFS–backed directory buckets |
+
+AWS may add or adjust classes in newer SDK releases; if a value is rejected as unknown, compare with the [S3 PutObject storage class documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_PutObject.html#AmazonS3-PutObject-request-header-StorageClass) or upgrade the SDK in this project.
+
+Read mode does not set storage class (objects are read as-is).

 ## Path Schemes
