How to handle large file uploads to s3?

I have a fairly basic setup for file uploads to S3. A dedicated Fileclass to which are sent uploaded files. Everything works, but when uploading big files, I run out of memory. As I understand (and I'm not sure I really understand), it would be because of file_get_contents. As the docs says: The put method may be used to store a file on disk. You may also pass a PHP resource t

Larger than 2MB file uploads fails on forge

Hi, I'm struggling with uploading files large than 2MB using forge, it works locally but not on forge.

Requests - file uploads & security

Hello! I have a small issue with file uploads. It's not that it doesn't work, I'm just not sure if what I'm doing is bad practice or not. I'm also under the impression that just checking for the mimetype is a very thin layer of security since it can easily be faked. Anyways, when a user submits a file to the server, it is validated by the validator (mimetype, max filesize, that

Using the "required" validation rule on those inputs means the form can not be validated as they are seen as empty/invalid even though they actually have a valid value from the initial creation.
