Upload a File to Amazon S3 Bucket

Configure CORS on your Amazon S3 Bucket

You must configure Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) on the Amazon S3 bucket to which you want to upload the file.

New users can configure CORS on their Default Location (default storage Amazon S3 bucket) available under Storage Settings on the Control Panel page.

Perform these steps to configure CORS on an Amazon S3 bucket:

  1. Login to Amazon S3.

  2. Navigate to the Amazon S3 bucket on which you want to configure CORS.

  3. Go to Permissions and click Add CORS Configuration.

  4. Repeat steps 2-3 to configure CORS on any other Amazon S3 buckets to which you want to upload files.

Here is a sample CORS configuration.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<CORSConfiguration xmlns="http://s3.amazonaws.com/doc/2006-03-01/">
<CORSRule>
<AllowedOrigin>https://api.qubole.com</AllowedOrigin>
<AllowedMethod>GET</AllowedMethod>
<AllowedMethod>POST</AllowedMethod>
<MaxAgeSeconds>3000</MaxAgeSeconds>
<AllowedHeader>*</AllowedHeader>
</CORSRule>
</CORSConfiguration>

Note

The syntax above uses https://api.qubole.com as the endpoint. Qubole provides other endpoints to access QDS that are described in Supported Qubole Endpoints on Different Cloud Providers.
