    I’m looking for a way to directly upload to my S3 bucket from the WordPress admin, this because PHP (or my hosting provider) has a limit on how large a file can be to still upload. I have a lot of movie files which are larger than that, but I do still want to host them on my S3 bucket.

    This plugin has a direct upload feature, but it is only available if you have Imgix enabled, which i don’t wish to use. Is there still a way to enable it without Imgix or does anybody know of a way to upload to S3 via the WP admin (I know I can upload via the AWS interface, but I rather not give my clients these login credentials)

    You need Imgix for direct upload because there would otherwise be no way to crop/resize the uploaded image for all of the sizes you have defined in your theme (or WordPress’s default sizes either) since the upload is direct from your browser to S3.

    If I want to directly upload to S3 I don’t need crop/resize, because the items are usually large .mp4 files ore .pdf files which don’t need to be cropped or resized.

    But your plugin is probably either direct upload or normal mode and I need both direct upload and the normal upload for my use case.
