I try to download the files stored by appwrite directly from my S3 provider. The bucket is not encrypted and no gzip but the files seem not to be stored there in the original format? Downloaded through appwrite one file has 140KB - downloaded directly from S3 187KB (probably including metadata?). Any idea how I can read these files directly from the storage?

TL;DR
Developers are having trouble reading files from S3 storage that were stored through Appwrite. The files don't appear to be stored in their original format. One file retrieved through Appwrite is 140KB, but when downloaded directly from S3 it's 187KB, possibly due to metadata inclusion. The developers are seeking a solution to be able to read these files directly from storage.
