Hello,

thanks for your great module. It has helped me tremendously shaping my website to my needs. Now so tremendously that my hosting provider has told me that I am over the limit (and totally maxed out) on their storage plan. So I have looked for solutions to the problem and the best one I can find is amazon s3 - scalable fast big cheap and probably reliable. So I wanted to ask if you can make the filefield interface with amazon s3 service for file uploads (all, or mimetype dependent or cck type dependent). Or maybe there is already another solution that my blind eyes can´t see?

Would MediaMover be able to help with this idea ? I know it has an interface with Amazon S3 as one of its options.

S3 integration is out of scope for FileField. This needs to be supported as a feature of the fileapi either as a mounted path or a storage bin than can be chosen for files. FileField only provides a way of associating files in the Drupal files table with nodes using CCK, even though it's default widget does allow uploading files, it mostly uses core file.inc functionality to complete that job.

For D6 I added a small wrapper library to implement hook_file since the version set for core wasn't going to get in for D6, but I do not want to maintain this functionality in the field module for the long term.

http://drupal.org/project/s3_api in this project we are developing a S3 stream wrapper, so once we complete this you can use this module to save files to S3 without any modification to the CCK
