I try to migrate the current s3 storage (docker volume) to an external provider. I copied all files from /var/lib/docker/volumes/appwrite_appwrite-uploads/_data to remote:bucket/storage/uploads - but I always get the following error when trying to access the files: {"message":"File not found in storageuploadsapp-...","code":404,"type":"storage_file_not_found","version":"1.7.4"} (showing the exact path). when I upload a new file, it creates that file as expected in the same folder structure. Only this time I can also download that file.

TL;DR
Developers trying to migrate a storage bucket to an external S3 provider are encountering a 'File not found' error despite copying all files. The new files can be uploaded and downloaded successfully. Solution: Check the permissions and ensure files are copied correctly. It might be a path issue - double-check the exact path in the error message.
