Hi @emmanuel we are building a file sharing service and plan to launch it on Product Hunt. We understand that there is a restriction on Bubble side for the uploaded file size and therefore we could use our own S3 storage for that. Would it be possible to enable configuring custom S3 storage path and in that case setting custom file size limits in the file uploader element?

This is not something we can do unfortunately, as the file upload would go through our servers first anyway. ---

what if we build a custom uploader plugin with file size of let’s say 5GB which will go directly to our s3, is that ok? ---

@scottb50 would you be able to build such a plugin for us?
