XF 2.2 I few questions I can't remember the answer

[Sirmadsen]

Hi everyone, I've been a frequent user of XenForo on and off but usually decide to leave due to reasons.

I am looking at getting back in to XenForo but can't remember if:

Does XenForo support large uploads through chunked uploads? (i.e. bypass webhost file size limit)
and
Is there support for external storage? Amazon S3 etc.

I am not looking at relying on plugins as they can be abandoned at any time.

Not natively.
There may be an add-on available.

Is there support for external storage? Amazon S3 etc.

Yes.

Does the S3 storage setting upload directly to my bucket or to the webhost and is then moved in the background?

It uses Flysystem's abstracted file system, which means it goes to your server via XenForo application first. XenForo processes the file, then stores it where it needs to be stored.

Alright, so I would still need to set up some kind of chunked upload using add-ons... Thanks. Hope XenForo will implement this in the future.
