Message from a user on support:

I was looking at the external storage options in Disroot cloud and saw that you enabled only two options while the nextcloud documentation shows more options. The specific option I'm interested in is Amazon S3, can you enable that please?

short answer no.

We dont want to support amazon
Allowing people to connect TB of cheap data storage will mean we will need to do ton of heavy lifting on the server to cope with amount of files. Every file has an entry in the database and every operation on the file goes through db. Once people add TB's of data our server will not be able to cope with.
