Amazon S3

Does xF natively support storing files on S3?

I currently have hundreds of GBs on S3 that I pay close to nothing for.

Thanks

yes, there's a file system adapter. the addon is now native, but the config file updates apply.

The same concepts can be applied to other adapters too.

Thank you!

That is a lot for a non-programmer to digest.

Are there simple fields to fill while in the admin section of the site, telling xF where the files are stored?

its as easy as setting a config file up to point to your buckets with the correct credentials.

if you can figure out how to connect to a mysql db (user,name,host, port, etc) than you can do this too.

there's a config to turn it on (over default local storage)
a config to store to the bucket
a config to read from the bucket

Assuming you have the credentials/acl's/policys/securty already set up on s3 anyway

You can also use CloudFlare R2 if you install @digitalpoint 's awesome Cloudflare addon. R2 is free up to a point or dirt cheap beyond that.
