Amazon S3 adapter

Hi, how exactly the Amazon S3 adapter works? Are the files whicxh I send by Appwrite are first sent to the Appwrite storage and then sent to Amazon storage? Or go straight to Amazon?

TL;DR

The user wants to configure the Appwrite platform to send files directly to Amazon S3 without storing them in Appwrite. They are asking for guidance on updating the necessary files to achieve this. The user also wants to confirm if files deleted from Amazon S3 will also be deleted from Appwrite. The thread confirms that files are first sent to Appwrite storage and then transferred to Amazon S3. The user asks if using the adapter to send files directly to Amazon S3 is a good idea. Solution: To configure the Appwrite platform to send files directly to Amazon S3, update the designated files with the required S3 credentials.

When you send files to Appwrite, they are first sent to the Appwrite storage, and then Appwrite transfers the files to your configured Amazon S3 storage. So the files go through Appwrite before being stored in Amazon S3.

Ok. So when I want to store my files totaly on separate storage like Amazon S3, the idea with adapter is not good idea? Am i good understand?

Why not? There shouldn’t be a problem

Ok. So how can I configure it to send file to Amazon but not store them in Appwrite. When I want to delete file from Amazon it has to be also in Appwrite?

To configure it to send file to Amazon directly, you need to update the following files as shown below:

TypeScript

_APP_STORAGE_DEVICE=s3
_APP_STORAGE_S3_KEY=your_s3_key
_APP_STORAGE_S3_SECRET=your_s3_secret
_APP_STORAGE_S3_BUCKET=your_s3_bucket
_APP_STORAGE_S3_REGION=your_s3_region

Also, for deleting, it won't be automatically deleted from Appwrite.
