Amazon S3, or Amazon Simple Storage Service, is a service offered by Amazon Web Services that provides object storage through a web service interface.
Our platform lets you quickly and easily connect your Form Entries to Amazon S3.
This enables you to select which files, images, and videos to upload to Amazon S3 when forms are submitted.
Before you add an Amazon S3 Storage Connector, you must ensure that you have valid Amazon Web Services set up for your organization.
Adding the Connector
Follow these steps to add the connector to your specific form:
- Navigate to App Workshop > Forms.
- Hover over your desired form and click the Connect icon.
- Click the Add Connector button (top-right).
- Select Amazon S3 Storage from the options.
Note: The page will refresh with the connector added. Changes are not live until you click Save.
Quick Access Tip
If you are already inside the Form Builder or Settings view, you don’t need to go back to the main menu. Simply click the Connectors tab located directly under the form title at the top of the screen.
