Easy Digital Downloads - Amazon S3

Selling digital products means keeping files safe and getting them to customers reliably. Large files can strain a web server and its bandwidth. Easy Digital Downloads – Amazon S3 moves file storage and delivery to Amazon S3, so your own server carries less load and your catalog can grow without worrying about server space.

Once connected, your EDD store works with Amazon's cloud infrastructure and its global content delivery network for downloads. Files stay synchronized between the store and Amazon S3, and customers receive time-limited links that guard against unauthorized access. It fits eBooks, software, music and other digital assets, and it works alongside other Easy Digital Downloads add-ons.

Features

• Direct Amazon S3 connection: Link your Easy Digital Downloads store to Amazon S3 so your product files are stored and managed in cloud storage rather than on your own server.
• Scalable cloud storage: Handle large files and a growing product catalog without worrying about server space or bandwidth, since the files live on Amazon S3.
• Time-limited download links: Deliver files through secure links that expire, which helps prevent unauthorized access to your digital products.
• Global CDN delivery: Downloads are served through Amazon's global content delivery network, which reduces the load on your server and gives customers a more reliable download.
• Automatic file syncing: Digital assets stay synchronized between your EDD store and Amazon S3 automatically, which saves you from uploading and updating files in two places.
• Built-in redundancy: Amazon S3's built-in redundancy supports reliable preservation of your files, giving you a backup layer for your digital products.
• Custom download permissions: Use permission settings to control who can access your files, so access rules can match the needs of your store.
