FAQPage Schema
How do I handle file upload and metadata storage across local and S3 backends?▼

File upload and metadata storage is handled via a unified API at /api/v6/files/:collectionName, supporting both local filesystem and AWS S3 backends. Multipart/form-data requests store files while generating Meteor-compatible metadata records.

What is the mechanism for generating secure presigned URLs for S3 file downloads?▼

Secure S3 file downloads are enabled through presigned URL generation. The system provides API endpoints and configuration options to issue these temporary access links, ensuring controlled public and secure file retrieval.

Does this file storage system work with Meteor-compatible collections for avatars and images?▼

Yes, the file storage system supports Meteor-compatible collections such as cfs.files.filerecord, cfs.avatars.filerecord, and cfs.images. It manages metadata-driven records for avatars and images across multiple collections with strict path conventions.

Can I use local filesystem storage by default and switch to AWS S3 for scalable file storage later?▼

Yes, you can use local filesystem storage by default and switch to AWS S3 for scalable file storage. Dual storage backend support allows seamless transition between local and S3 configurations via storage settings.

What are the limitations of using metadata-driven file records with strict path conventions?▼

Metadata-driven file records enforce strict path conventions across multiple collections, requiring adherence to specific directory structures. This design ensures consistent file retrieval but limits arbitrary path customization during upload and storage operations.
