Can this plugin upload files to Amazon S3 ?

yes, this is possible. There are a lot of tutorials on how this can be achieved. Further more, you can also contact our team, from the menu Performance > Support > CDN configuration. If you go with that option one of our team members will properly configure that for you.

Hello,

I have fully installed your plugin and selected Cloudfront and properly set my Amazon Cloudfront access credentials but that will just act as simple CDN loading the files from cloudfront. What I need is for my ‘uploads’ folder files to be sent either directly on Amazon S3 and then use Amazon Cloudfront or uploaded on my server – sent to Amazon S3 and then deleted from my server. I need my server WordPress upload folder to always be almost empty. My website is a small freelancer website so people are uploading files to my server upload folder (pdf,zip,jpg, etc) to communicate with the employers, all those files will take huge space on my server, I need to solve that. Right now I’m using Offload S3 plugin that does exactly what I need but it has some issues that developer won’t fix it on free version.

Another issue is that even if CDN is enabled with Cloudfront and test pass, the images / files on website are still loaded from my server instead of cloudfront. Until now the plugin did nothing to speed up my website. I have disable it the plugin until I get some help here.

Hello,

There is a guide on how to set up W3TC with Amazon S3 on our FAQ page. It apperas that you CDN is not set up propperly.
I hope you will find these guidelines helpfull.

It sure can. It works well. If u are having issues it can be a variety of reasons why your images arent being sent and/or retrieved from S3/Cloudfront … e.g. hardcoded domains that dont match what w3tc is suppose to upload, being added to your page late in the build process or dynamically.

I am sure i am wrong but i dont think w3tc deletes what it uploads to the CDN…i figure so it has a backup and something to monitor when it changes. But you could simply just manually delete the contents of the folder. Again, i could be wrong about this.
