This question regarding S3 block, besides using it as storage for deployment,  and  also storing flow and task results, what else can we use it for?

hi <@U030PPPDB35> - i’d say you already identified the distinctly prefect-oriented uses of an S3 bucket, but you could also use it for general blob storage for reading and writing from flows - so pretty much whatever you want!

Is it OK to to share a S3 block for storing results of different flows?

just be careful that these flows are not writing to the same `result_storage_key` or else they will overwrite each other's results

by default UUIDs will be used for blob paths, so you shouldnt have any collisions there
