Can you elaborate on the client issues? We decided to go with WebAPI for universal access. Also, for public images, you can reference the endpoints directly in your HTML, so <img src="https://bitbox.co/files/1.png">

S3 has an api and there are libraries out there how to use it. It has access policys, access tokens with different permission level. Everything you have but better.
Now what you don't have, is a client software which allows any employee to use your storage system easy.
Only a WebAPI is not enough. I would even prefer any S3 open source self hosting solution over your solution and put a backup strategy behind it.
Not sure why i should use your service over one of the following:
- Office 365 Sharepoint or OneDrive - Dropbox - Box - Google Drive
In my previous company, we used box. One of the biggest issues was the client. For cases like images for a website or other stuff, we used S3 directly.
I personaly wouldn't use it in my it department. i would use nextcloud or one named above.
