Hello I was thinking to save attachments to amazon s3 its cheaper to host large amount of files to amazon s3. Its hard to scale disk space in virtual machine like digitalocean etc. so better host it to amazon s3 or azure. Would this be easy to develop or its needs a lot of work?

We started this project, hence file saving is “hookable” Check this: frappe/file_manager.py at develop · frappe/frappe · GitHub All you need to do is return the filename and url like save_file_on_filesystem

@rmehta wow thats cool. I try to create an app/plugin for amazon s3

@ccfiel good luck! I’ve been wanting to do something similar with google drive API / Google cloud storage. We currently use google drive and just attach the URL’s so nothing is lost, we control who see’s what and in the event ERPNext crashes google drive will still be there (hopefully)

@ccfiel Any chance your app/plugin is open source?

This is great! What happen there are existing files already before I installed the app? would it migrate the existing files to s3?

Its not there right now.I can add that feature, where after you install, a button to migrate all the existing files to s3.

Thans would be great! Thanks for this great app!

Now there is a button on the migrate the existing files to s3 right after installing the app.
