What it does
Stores that sell digital products or publish a lot of images and video can run out of hosting space quickly. This plugin moves those files to Amazon S3 instead. Images, videos and downloadable products are transferred to your S3 storage, which takes that load off your own server and lets storage grow as your catalog does, without being held back by the limits of your hosting plan.
The plugin requires WooCommerce and fits shops and content-heavy sites built on it. Once connected, it keeps local and cloud storage synchronized so your media library stays consistent. It also supports restricted file access for downloads, which helps protect paid files from being shared through direct links. Cloud files are managed from a straightforward interface inside WordPress.
Best for
- WooCommerce stores selling downloadable products
- Sites with large image and video libraries
- Shops on hosting plans with limited disk space
Features
Amazon S3 connection

Media file offloading
Transfers images, videos and downloadable products to Amazon S3 automatically, reducing the amount of storage and load on your own server.
Protected download delivery

Adjust how much storage you use as your needs change, without being limited by the disk space on your hosting account.
Questions about YITH Amazon S3 Storage
Do I need WooCommerce to use this plugin?
Yes. The plugin lists WooCommerce as a requirement, so it is meant for sites running a WooCommerce store. It works with the media and downloadable product files in that setup.
What kinds of files can it move to Amazon S3?
It offloads images, videos and downloadable products to Amazon S3. Moving these files frees space on your own server, which is useful for stores with large catalogs or digital goods.
Can it protect my paid downloads?
It can restrict direct access to files stored on S3. This helps prevent unauthorized use of your downloadable products, since customers cannot simply share a direct link to the file.
Will my media library stay up to date after offloading?
The plugin keeps local and cloud storage synchronized automatically. That keeps your media library consistent, so you do not have to copy files between the two locations by hand.
Is YITH Amazon S3 Storage free?
The code of YITH Amazon S3 Storage is licensed under the GPL, so anyone may use, change and share it. GPL Feast is a paid service: a plan or a single purchase gives you the download. The developer's own support, licence key and online services are not included.
