Amazon S3 is cloud storage for the internet. To upload your data (photos, videos, documents etc.), you must first create a bucket in one of the AWS Regions. You can then upload any number of objects to the bucket.
An Amazon S3 bucket name is globally unique, and the namespace is shared by all AWS accounts. This means that after a bucket is created, the name of that bucket cannot be used by another AWS account in any AWS Region until the bucket is deleted.
This document will provide some detail on how to link your app with Amazon S3 storage using the built-in connector provided for this. For more detailed information on the Amazon S3 service, consult the Amazon S3 support documentation found here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/index.html#lang/en_us
Adding Amazon S3 Storage to your Form
On the Form -> Connectors page, click the Add button to add a new connector. Then click on the Amazon S3 option.
Once you click on Amazon S3 Storage the page will refresh and display your Connector, ready for configuration.

PDF: Sends a PDF file attachment on the email, generated using either a generic PDF output or the Word/Excel template provided.
Text File: Sends a Form data as a Text File attachment on the email.

2. Send Media Files

The Connector will send/attach all media captured in the Form entry (photos, videos, etc.) as separate files with this option enabled.
This is in addition to any generated answer/template output of the connector.

Before uploading data into Amazon S3, you must create a Bucket to store the data. Bucket names are globally unique and must be DNS compatible.
5. Folder Path
Enter the folder path under your Bucket that you wish to organize your file within: 'Bucketname/FolderName/FileGoesInThisOne'
6. Private Bucket
Enable this option if your AWS S3 Bucket is listed as private and has special ACL settings.
7. Anonymize Personal Data
If enabled, data from fields marked as Personal Data will be converted to a non-human-readable format to aid privacy.
