Can I store my files with a Cloud Service?

Hello,

Just wanted to know if I can store my files using a cloud service. Not Amazon S3 but MediaFire, Box.net, Dropbox, Google Drive, etc….

I now I can store them on my Host site but they will be larger files and I need more space than what my hosting provider can give me. I understand they won’t be protected…is that correct?

The way my website is setup is using a Table. Wills s2member work inside of a Table?

They will be larger Zip/Rar Files so I need as much as I can get.

Thanks for your help

Hi Johnny.

s2Member only integrates with Amazon Web Services (S3 and CloudFront) for file hosting outside of the default s2member-files folder in the hosting account that has your WordPress installation.

You can use those other cloud services, but s2Member wouldn’t be able to restrict access to them.

Why isn’t Amazon an option?

Ok upgraded to Amazon s3 but when I click on the Download I get this error:

Hopefully I am not giving away sensitive information here…

I did change my Amazon S3 Folder to ws-s2member-files-(this is my folder name I added).

but I figured in the first line of “File Bucket Name” is the same I should be ok…right?

Please help…….

Woohoo! Got the Amazon S3 Cloud service to work! For those of you new to Amazon S3 Cloud Service you have to sign up and they will charge $1 to verify your CC plus they will call you with a PIN Number to confirm the account. A bit of hoops to jump through but I can understand they want to verify who is using their server. I have never done that with any other Cloud Service. But nonetheless, seems like a stable cloud server.

It’s really easy to transfer files to your Amazon S3 Account. All you need is the 2 Keys and your are set!

Thanks s2member for all your help. I will have some more questions in the future….

Glad to hear you solved this, Johnny! Thank you for the update. :)
