    Hello. We hosted our files in our server and we plan to migrate into AWS EC2.
    Our server is around 100GB (Uploaded Media). And we plan to just upload the WordPress and not the media files because the server can only handle 30GB of storage so we need to put our media files in S3 to be offloaded after migrating. (AWS S3 is a bit cheaper compare to upgrading server storage)

    Can we manually upload the files in our S3 ? If yes. How?
    I think that we should upload it like /wp-contents/uploads on s3.

    Please help us. Thanks.
    Planning also to purchase the pro version if necessary on migrating.

    Yes, you can do that with WP Offload Media (not Lite), there’s 2 ways of doing it:

    1. Offload everything while still using the old server and then migrate to the new host where the same S3 objects can be used.

    2. Manually upload to the S3 bucket, then use the “Add Metadata” tool to link those objects with their Media Library items.

    With option 2 you could use the Add Metadata tool while on the old host or new one (probably best to make sure it works as expected on a staging site first anyway).

    On the other hand , you can directly use Azcopy for this migration if you are familar with command line , or you can use GUI tools like Gs Richcopy 360 or Goodsync , both are quick an simple
