Hi @BhuviTheDataGuy , Can you please confirm in the s3 bucket whether the document is uploaded in the bucket?

For anyone coming here from the blog The code in the blog does not work at this point (at least as of version 1.2.1). The reason is that when using S3Boto3Storage, the horilla code invokes document.path here, and document is stored at s3 so it can't find it and raises an error of "This backend doesn't support absolute paths" There is a quick and dirty fix to make this work:

import tempfile
import os
from storages.backends.s3boto3 import S3Boto3Storage

class PrivateMediaStorage(S3Boto3Storage):
    """
    PrivateMediaStorage
    """

    default_acl = "private"
    file_overwrite = False

    def path(self, name):
        temp_dir = tempfile.mkdtemp()
        fn = name.split("/")[-1]
        temp_file_path = os.path.join(temp_dir, fn)
        file = self._open(name, mode='rb')
        with open(temp_file_path, 'wb') as temp_file:
            temp_file.writelines(file)

        return temp_file_path

Maybe the @horilla-opensource team can make a more "permanent" fix for it here?
