MSUKForum Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Has anyone setup external file storage with Amazon S3? I can't figure out how much it might cost it's quite mind boggling! Could anyone help me? or if there are other file storage solutions. Â Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 All Community In The Cloud clients automatically use S3 on this end. Unfortunately I couldn't answer anything about pricing, however (frankly I have no idea). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are a CiC site and use S3 for storing attachments and gallery images and our latest invoice shows 70Gb of storage. The total cost is USD13/month. That breaks down to roughly $2 tax, $2 for storage and $8 for bandwidth (data in and out of S3) So storage is very cheap and bandwidth is very slightly higher. I probably wouldn't recommend putting high traffic data such as user profile images on there but for us, moving the bulky images and gallery onto S3 has been a life saver. Depending on your site traffic and what your host charges for storage and bandwidth then you may well save money using it. There has been a lot of discussion and several Help Guides about S3 so a search for "amazon s3" (including the quotes) will provide more information. I did taht many times when setting up our S3 and it all went smoothly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
