Is there any other mechanism in Bubble that allows us to connect to our own S3 besides the plugin “AWS File uploader”?

Same here…bubble’s db is soo restrictive. Wish they could just allow us to host our own data then use bubble as a front end dev platform…just like how wordpress does it…it would make bubble so amazing. ---

It’s possible to make calls to upload to, download from and manage your own S3 storage like any other tool would do. ---

run your own backend ( scalingo, heroku and express ) using that service for ad hoc send file service or to upload from bubble html layer direct to any bucket on S3. Free , audience should have exp. w github , and some w PAAS like heroku or scalingo. ![bubbl_natv_fetch_html](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/3/5/354e342487bcc523ebee08c7634e228bde873b91.png) node express [project on git](https://github.com/rowntreerob/sampleexpress)
