To Store Attached Files by Using the Amazon S3 Service

To store the attached files in Amazon S3 storage, you use the External File Storage (SM202540) form to configure the Amazon S3 provider and switch file storage to the provider. For more information about storing files, see External Storage: General Information.

Before You Proceed

Your company must have an Amazon Web Services (AWS) account with the configured storage bucket in Amazon S3 storage. For more information, see Amazon S3 and AWS Security Credentials.

Note: AWS does not support the Chinese file names. Please check all your attached files to have allowed names before using Amazon S3 Storage. We recommend using only Latin letters, numbers, and underscores in file names.
