Thank you for this fast and easy tutorial. Used the method you showed to integrate into an app I created.

Awesome awesome awesome.

The AWS UI has changed a bit but this tutorial works perfectly.

Thank you for such a straightforward solution! I was able to follow your tutorial easily and upload a file to AWS S3 without any trouble. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

I have one question though. Is it possible to upload a file to a specific folder within a bucket on AWS S3? If so, could you please explain the process of achieving this? I would greatly appreciate your guidance. Keep up the amazing work!

I love the video! Would you ever consider doing a video on how to upload multiple files at once/uploading an entire folder?

[ragaswarupa]

OMG THANK U SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO! UR A LIFESAVER BRO THANKSSSS!!!

[mdhruv]

A follow up video of using a presigned url using lambda would also be good.

[andresvivanco]

great stuff! Would love to see this with authorization feature

Thanks for the tutorial. API Gatwway has a limit of max 10MB request payloads. Is the technique described in your video also limited to a max 10MB upload?

Awesome and this works. But m trying to integrate this with a front end html code and this is proving to be very difficult

[santhu]

I am getting access denied error. Could you please share the steps to handle the authentication for the upload in postman?

[alj]

Can I integrate this api with the api created in the previous video on file-upload ?
Cos i'm facing some issues with Postman..the error is simply "Internal Server Error"...

[nandl]

Hi, nice tutorial!
I am not a front-end man at all but I would be helped a lot to have an overview how I can trigger this API with a file selected in a file-input in HTML.

[bnjminvlogs]

when I do this from postman, it works, but when I embed the javascript snippet from postman and try to integrate the frontend from my html file, I get told that the access to fetch at the gateway from origin 'null' is denied by the CORS policy? how can I fix this?

[DhiegoLucio]

For those who, as me, were having your files corrupted on upload, don't forget to set a header for your upload file as - "Content-Type", "image/png"

[caandevelopers]

Thank you so much. But could you please make a video on how to use {proxy+} to upload to s3 folders directly? Please?

[chaozhengzhu]

I did every step but the result show me in postman with error MalformedXML The XML you provided was not well-formed or did not validate against our published schema, anyone can help?

I've created a mobile app which consists of forms, these forms store the text data in MongoDB Atlas and the images in AWS S3, the MongoDB Atlas is a serverless service, but I'm needing a middleware to communicate with it. The AWS S3 is also needing a middleware to upload the images. Currently I'm running this middleware servers on my local machine(Local Host), but I need a serverless service for these two node servers to run 24/7, but I want to only pay for the time that I use these. Please help me Guys, I'm a beginner.

Excellent tutorial. Works great from, postman. When I try uploading from React application, I'am able to upload files but jpeg and png file seem corrupted (text files are fine). Any ideas on how this can be resolved?
