Thanks both for your responses! For me, it's primarily cost-related. Object storage like S3 is typically cheaper than block storage, so being able to offset costs by utilising S3 (even just for attachments) would be beneficial, as it would save space for files that must be stored in the volume.

Hi! Outline supports using S3 over the local file system for storage, but I can't seem to get it to work.

I noticed the start.sh script has a hard-coded declaration for FILE_STORAGE, which will cause it to overwrite anything in /app/data/env.sh:

export FILE_STORAGE=local

I'm guessing that this is the reason my declaration isn't working. Is this by design, or might it be something that can be removed/altered in some way to support using S3?

Thanks!
