S3 hosting an option with XF2?

[EricJ]

Hi all,

First-time user here, just getting to grips with setting up XF2 and was wondering if there is in-built support for using S3 as storage for attachments and if so how I go about doing it? Or an add-on if not? I currently have a bog-standard installation.

Thanks!

No in-built support.

Great, thanks. I've installed that and set up an S3 bucket and configured Route53 to point to it. It uploads the images fine (I can see the files appear in my bucket), but on the forum, it just sits there with the "Loading Image" message displaying for ages, until it eventually times out with a "Something went wrong. Please contact and administrator" message.
Any clues? Thanks.

You need to ask the addon developer for support.
