Images - S3 vs CDN

[DataGuy]

I have an app that allows users to upload images and shows them the direct link to that image… (similar to imgur)… However, I noticed that in the last couple days, the links for newly uploaded images are no longer AWS/S3 links. Now they are http://69a6b4b7413atuj5f13df1e1e6.cdn.bubble.io/f1686550sdji724x939552945238442800/160493_image_name_111.jpg

I didn’t change anything in my app. I didn’t even update the app version, so I’m wondering how this could be happening… Some users have communicated they are a lot more comfortable storing their images and seeing an AWS link vs a bubble.io link

This is what happened:

[BIG ISSUE] Bubble Now Exposes Your Bubble App Name in the File Storage URL

Hi all, We’ve updated this so the hostnames will now read as a [random hexadecimal].cdn.bubble.io. Your app’s end users will no longer see your original appname in the URL string, so if you’re using old branding or a deprecated name, you should be all set. I do want to be transparent that we did not change that bubble.io is in the hostname. I understand that this isn’t going to be satisfactory to all customers but that this is the best solution for now that meets our scaling and security needs. …

They are still stored on AWS S3 just hidden by behind a different name

There are plugins though to store files in your own S3 bucket if you wanted to go that route.
