Pretty much does what it says on the tin...

This library helps you connect your CI Application to the wonderful Amazon S3 Service.
Originally Developed for the File Sharing Site: FilePanda.

You can read more about Amazon S3, and get the CI Library, check out this blog post:
Amazon S3 - The future of all our storage needs?

I read on your blog you find the service affordable but a while ago there where some people who complained you couldn't set a limit or a warning to control the amount to pay. It was a guy who runs an arabic podcast so he is in control of his files but for a file sharing site, they are talking about shutting down rapidshare so expect more files Wink , the bill must go through the roof?

Anyway nice share, thank you

Yeah, I would love to see Amazon implement a maximum charge per month feature - if the desired action would bump your bill over that amount, it's a no-go.

But... then again... it can't take more than 5-minutes and 10 lines of code to implement this yourself on your site.

Can you get statistics from the S3 service? I think that would be an nice feature for the library or is it already build in?

We love the Amazon S3 service as well - we have actually setup an account on there for automated remote backups from our Development server every 2nd day.

This is a great contribution and Im certain when we hit a client requiring a site with big storage that we will be using this Smile

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Some of you have mentioned fears about bandwidth rocketing.
FilePanda works in a way where the Amazon S3 files are Private and only accessable trough a time-out link on FilePanda.

The bottom line?

More bandwidth = More pageviews.
More ad impressions = more ad clicks.
More ad cliks pays for more bandwidth (and maybe beer)

Small files are easy to upload, but when files exceeds 5MB limit i am getting this error

Well, it's worked very nicely for me before, and I'm sure it can work for me again.

FilePanda is already breaking even, which is great Smile
There should be an update on the site in the next few weeks.
