Download Monitor Amazon S3

Files stored in private Amazon S3 buckets need a way to be delivered to visitors without making them publicly accessible. This add-on works with Download Monitor to serve those files through timed URLs. The links expire after a set period, helping site owners limit access to shared download addresses.

The plugin detects links to files hosted on Amazon S3 and adds the authentication parameters needed for access. Site owners provide Amazon AWS access credentials for the connection, then manage downloads through Download Monitor. It suits websites that distribute digital files from private S3 storage and need links with a limited access period.

Features

• Amazon S3 file storage: Connect non-public Amazon S3 files to Download Monitor, so downloadable content can remain in private cloud storage.
• Expiring download links: Generate timed URLs that stop working after a set period, helping limit access to downloadable files.
• Automatic authentication: Detect Amazon S3 file links and append the authentication parameters required to access them.
• AWS credentials: Enter Amazon AWS access credentials to connect the plugin with S3 and serve protected files.
• Download Monitor connection: Use Amazon S3-hosted files with the Download Monitor plugin as part of an existing download workflow.
• Private file delivery: Deliver files from private Amazon S3 storage through links with limited validity, helping restrict unauthorized access.
