Hello.

We use Alfresco 7 with AWS S3.
We use Nodes::createNode to create the node metadata and than use ContentWriter:: putContent to upload the file.

Is it possible to use Nodes::createNode only and copy the file from an external S3 bucket right into the Alfresco's S3 bucket?
If so, what S3 key should the file have? What additional properties we need to specify to bind the file to the metadata?

Thanks.

1. Nodes::createNode: This would create the node metadata as you mentioned.
2. Direct S3 Copy: You can copy the file from your external S3 bucket directly to Alfresco's S3 bucket using AWS's CopyObject request.
3. S3 Key & Metadata Binding: The key within Alfresco's S3 bucket will usually follow Alfresco's content URL, which often looks like store://<UUID>.bin. To bind the file to the metadata, you'll need to ensure that the content URL matches what's used in Alfresco's database. Tell Tims
