Hi, yes. You can use the S3 bucket plugin by Strapi, works like a train 🚂 !

And using presigned URLs?

I tried the plugin.

    "@strapi/provider-upload-aws-s3": "5.18.1",

But stuck on CORS block

Access to fetch at 'https://my-bucket.storage.railway.app/IMG_1242_95198ad9a2.jpeg' from origin 'https://my-strapi app.up.railway.app' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.

Did you configure Strapi’s CORS headers?

Yes but I'm fairly new to this... could you walk me through it?

Stack:

Strapi on Railway (from template)
Railway Storage Bucket

I installed @strapi/provider-upload-aws-s3.

Can you confirm that I should use presigned URL's for upload?
