 * Hi there and thanks for a nice product,
 * I have a question – is it not possible to link the plugin to multiple buckets
   at one time? It seems silly that all uploads go into one bucket and hence does
   not take advantage of the bucket system on AWS S3 – or am I missing something?
 * What would a workaround be?
 * Thanks a lot.
 * Best,
    Emil

 * Hi Emil,
 * What would be the use case for multiple buckets? I can maybe see the advantage
   on multisite installs so that each subsite has a separate bucket, but not for
   single site installs.
 * Cheers,
    Ashley

 * I got thousands of files that needs to be sorted somehow so they don’t all just
   line up in one big pool.
 * I need to categorise them in different films each with different subfolders that
   will contain hundreds of files each.
 * The interface of the plugin only seems to allow the path to be dynamic through
   date/year, but that will be kinda confusing.
 * Maybe what I am searching for is not multiple buckets, but I need a way for the
   files to not automatically be pooled into the same folder but match an organised
   folder/bucket structure on AWS s3. I am new to all this, so perhaps i’m missing
   something 🙂
 * Thanks for answering

 * That makes perfect sense. We follow the default structure implemented by WordPress,
   which only organises files by year and month. There are plugins available which
   will allow you to organise the files locally, however this won’t be replicated
   on S3.
 * There isn’t a way to achieve this at the moment, although we are introducing 
   a filter in the next version which will allow you to modify the file paths during
   the upload process. But even then it’s going to be difficult to organise the 
   files programatically.

 * Could this new “filter” be used to customize the path in multisite to appear 
   as the multisite name (or domain name of the mapping plugin) instead of say:

 * it could look like this:
