Can I use Amazon S3 to auto host my images without using W3 Total Cache?

Question

I am using a wordpress site, and using the Formidable Pro plugin to create forms for users to submit pictures frontend as posts.

As the form is created using formidable, any pictures uploaded by user goes to a upload folder in the formidable directory in my FTP.

I want to use Amazon S3 to host all the images uploaded by users and also for these images to be shown in posts like how it was supposed to work.

How do I go about doing this? Must I use a W3 total cache plugin or super cache plugin? Is there another alternative?

Answer 1

There is the S3 and Cloudfront plugin you can try

The only caveat to this, is that the images are loaded onto your server first, then uploaded to S3.
