   Upload a folder with files
   Create a folder and upload files
   Note

   All symbols except for Latin letters will be replaced with codes, and spaces will be replaced with plus signs.

4. Click Upload.

5. After the files are uploaded, click Close.

Copy links.

1. Select the uploaded file and click Copy URL on the Object tab.

   

2. All file links are created by the same template.

   Links look like this:

   https://<bucket-name>.s3.<region-code>.amazonaws.com/<filename>
   Copy text

   The link in the folder looks like this:

   https://<bucket-name>.s3.<region-code>.amazonaws.com/<path-to-file>/<filename>
   Copy text

   Note

   To quickly get links to other files, copy the link to one of them and replace <file-name> with the names of other files.

3. In the file with tasks, paste the links in the column that matches the input data field to which this data is passed.

   For example, if you want to use images in the image field, specify the file links in the INPUT:image column:

   INPUT:image
   https://mybucket.s3.eu-north-1.amazonaws.com/newfolder/image1.png
   https://mybucket.s3.eu-north-1.amazonaws.com/newfolder/image2.png
   Copy text
