Hey @PaulBratslavsky

Title: How to setup Amazon S3 Upload Provider Plugin for your Strapi App

Description

A powerful feature of Strapi is its flexibility and extensibility. This is provided through plugins hosted on the Strapi Market. Plugins help add more functionality to your Strapi app. One such feature is uploading your media assets to a cloud provider in the Strapi dashboard.

Sometimes you may want to host your app's media files in a different location from where your Strapi app is. This is useful if you want to save on storage, memory, and compute resource usage on your Strapi app production server or leverage cloud-based solutions like Content Delivery Networks (CDN) or cloud storage buckets for faster and reliable loading of your media assets.

Amazon AWS is the biggest cloud provider. It offers Amazon S3, a cloud storage service you can use to host your media assets. Amazon S3 is scalable, reliable, secure, and performant. Fortunately, the Strapi Team built an Amazon S3 Upload Provider Plugin to help streamline uploading your media assets to your S3 storage bucket.

In this tutorial, I will show you how to set up the Amazon S3 Upload Provider Plugin for your Strapi App. You will first set up and configure an S3 storage bucket for your app. Then create a Strapi App using one of the starters provided by the Strapi Team. Next, you will install and configure the Amazon S3 Upload Provider Plugin. Finally, you will test the plugin by uploading some images to your Strapi backend. By the end of this tutorial, you should be able to use the Amazon S3 Upload Provider Plugin with any Strapi project.

Hello 👋  Your article is live! 🎉 Quick feedback, I have noticed in the last articles you include a screenshot of the login section in the admin panel of v3. We shouldn't include any screenshots referring to v3 since the articles are v4. I changed them, just take it into consideration for future articles.

Now you can submit your invoice here!

If you want to promote your article, here are some ideas and templates that might help you! Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions!

Thanks for the feedback. I wasn't aware of my error. I assumed the login sections for v3 and v4 were the same. Thanks for the correction once again.
