Use AWS S3 to store files
Can I use UploadThing exclusively on the frontend without hosting my files on UploadThing storage, but rather on AWS?
RI mean. Your files are on S3.
But also this kind of defeats the point of using something like uploadthing, which takes away the hassle of having to deal with the complexities and annoyances of AWS.
If that is something you want to do, you could look into the source code for uploadtbing and how it works and how you can run your own solution?

CWhats complicated with s3?
CYou can also use Cloudflare R2 which is compatible with s3 api
CAnd much easier to set up
RIt's not "complicated" per say. But in the context of this question Uploadthing is supposed to be a quick solution.
MYou're more likely to encounter S3, Azure blob storage or [insert X enterprise name here] in the wild, as opposed to something like upload thing. Depends what you are using it for, if you want to learn how to set up and use S3 or Blob storage, do that. Quick solution? Uploadthing
RExactly this!
