Configuring the S3 portion of the zap, there are two fields under “Action” that I am unsure what to do with. The first is called “KEY: The name of the object that will be created in the specified S3 bucket.” I don’t know what this means. The second is called “FILE: Must be a file object from another service (or some text). We recommend keeping files under 500mb or so - depending on the source download speed we can timeout if the file is too large.” But I want attached files to submitted through a form to be deposited in my S3 bucket. I don’t want to upload the same file every time, as this field seems to imply. I think I’m not understanding something here. Thanks to anyone who can  point me in the right direction!

I want to add files to a folder

In Amazon S3, folders are designated by the key name.

For example, if you upload a file with the key images/sample1.jpg then it will show in the Amazon S3 console as a file sample1.jpg inside a folder images.

If you have multiple files to upload (1+), then you can use the Looping app: https://zapier.com/apps/looping/help
