Chamevo can automatically store print-ready export files in cloud storage providers like Dropbox or AWS S3 when orders are created. This is useful for automatic file backup, integration with print fulfillment services, or accessing files from multiple locations.

Supported Cloud Providers

• Dropbox - Store files directly in your Dropbox account
• AWS S3 - Store files in Amazon S3 buckets

1. Click Create App
2. Choose your API
3. Choose your access
4. **Name **your application

Once connected, all print-ready files will automatically upload to your Dropbox when orders are created.

Setting Up AWS S3 Storage

In the AWS IAM Console, create a user with access to your S3 bucket.

Follow these steps:

• Go to IAM → Users → Add User
• Create a user with Programmatic access
• Attach policies for S3 bucket access
• Save the Access Key ID and Secret Access Key

For detailed instructions, see AWS documentation on creating access keys.

• Region - Your bucket's AWS region (e.g., us-east-1)

File Organization

Dropbox: Files are typically organized by:

• Order number
• Product name
• Date/time stamp

AWS S3: You can configure the bucket path structure:

• Root folder for all exports
• Subfolders by date, order ID, or custom structure
• File naming conventions

Summary

• Cloud storage automatically backs up print-ready files to Dropbox or AWS S3
• Dropbox requires creating an app, setting permissions, and connecting via OAuth
• AWS S3 requires IAM user credentials with bucket access
• Files upload automatically when orders are created
• Useful for backup, fulfillment integration, and multi-location access
