Hey all,
Whats the correct way to setup Local Storage and S3 Uploads
Local Storage vs S3 Uploads
------------------------------------
Qtn# 1 Is it either / OR
Should one or the other be enabled or can both be enabled?
> If both are enabled ,
Is a users uploaded image stored twice - once in Local and once in S3?
Qtn# 2
> What exactly is stored and gets uploaded in S3
> the whole directory structure and data gets uploaded to s3?
(everything in public_html)
> /application/, /externals, /public
Qtn#2 If Local Storage AND S3 is enabled
>Where will a users uploaded image /photo etc be uploaded
Trying to figure out how this works.
Thanks

Answered in the above screenshots.
So here
Hi PPk, thanks
If its one or the other
where are all the mp3s, videos , documents of a user stored?
It only uploads images not the other files.
So mp3 videos and docs stay on your server
images get uploaded to S3
Sorry PPK, am a little confused
"... 1/ Both cannot be enabled. "
I have enabled both - image below.
Does Local Storage mean - only a folder with users stored files
If its just a folder - what is the primary folder for local storage?
where is it stored?
or
Local Storage holds everything of social engine (public_html)
Thanks

Not true. I use Amazon S3 and the storage transfer services migrates images and music when I manually select it to transfer. I assume it would transfer video files and documents as well if I had such plugins.

so SE script uploads mp3 ?
I use a third party plugin for music (younet's Social Music plugin). But yes, whenever I need to clear room on my server, I use the storage transfer option to transfer from local host to S3 and it will transfer not only cover art images but the .mp3's as well.
I stand corrected then
