## FAQ

### How secure are the download links?

The plugin generates signed URLs that are only valid for the configured duration(
1-60 minutes). These links are generated on-demand when a customer initiates a download,
ensuring that each download session gets a fresh, time-limited URL.

### Can I customize the link expiration time?

Yes! Unlike some other cloud storage services, S3 allows you to configure the link
expiration time. Go to WooCommerce > Settings > S3 Storage and set your preferred
duration (1-60 minutes).

### What file types are supported for upload?

The plugin supports safe file types including:
 * Archives: ZIP, RAR, 7Z, TAR, GZ*
Documents: PDF, DOC, DOCX, TXT, RTF, XLS, XLSX, CSV, PPT, PPTX * Images: JPG, JPEG,
PNG, GIF, WEBP * Audio: MP3, WAV, OGG, FLAC, M4A * Video: MP4, AVI, MOV, WMV, FLV,
WEBM * E-books: EPUB, MOBI, AZW, AZW3 * Web files: CSS, JS, JSON, XML

Dangerous file types (executables, scripts) are automatically blocked for security.

### Which S3 providers are supported?

Any S3-compatible storage service, including:
 * Amazon S3 * DigitalOcean Spaces*
Linode Object Storage * Wasabi * Backblaze B2 (with S3-compatible API) * Cloudflare
R2 * MinIO * Storj * ArvanCloud * Hetzner Object Storage * And many others

### Can I customize the URL prefix for S3 files?

Yes, developers can customize the URL prefix using the `wcs3_url_prefix` filter.
Add this code to your theme’s functions.php:

    ```
    function customize_s3_url_prefix($prefix) {
        return 'wc-myprefix://'; // Change to your preferred prefix
    }
    add_filter('wcs3_url_prefix', 'customize_s3_url_prefix');
    ```

### Can I customize the allowed file types (MIME types)?

Yes, developers can customize the allowed MIME types using the `wcs3_allowed_mime_types`
filter.

### 󠀁[Great plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-plugin-41696/)󠁿

 [bshhun](https://profiles.wordpress.org/bshhun/) August 8, 2026

A very useful and well-designed plugin for WooCommerce digital products. We used
it to move a large library of downloadable audio files from our web hosting to Cloudflare
R2, and it made the process much easier. The plugin works nicely with S3-compatible
storage, supports private files and signed download URLs, and integrates directly
with WooCommerce downloadable products. What I especially appreciate is that it 
solves a real problem for stores with a large amount of digital content: the files
can be delivered directly from cloud storage instead of consuming local hosting 
space and bandwidth. The developer has also clearly put a lot of work into compatibility
and practical WooCommerce integration. Thank you very much for creating and maintaining
this plugin — it is genuinely useful and has already saved us a lot of storage and
infrastructure costs. Highly recommended for anyone selling downloadable products
with WooCommerce.

I’m very satisfied with the plugin and the support I received. I encountered an 
important issue that needed to be resolved, and the Storage for Woo support team
worked hard to identify and fix the problem. They listened to my feedback, responded
to my questions throughout the process, and continued improving the plugin until
everything worked correctly. Thank you for your excellent support.Patric / Internetfoto(

 [xaifact](https://profiles.wordpress.org/xaifact/) February 2, 2026

I really love this plugin. It’s exactly what I was looking for to sell digital download
products with WooCommerce.It finally makes it easy to integrate S3 files into download
products without any coding. I’ve used similar features in Easy Digital Downloads,
and I was really happy to see the same solution available for WooCommerce.

## Changelog

#### 1.2.4

 * Updated: Internal vendor dependencies.

#### 1.2.3

 * Fixed: WooCommerce download counter tracking, download limits, and access expiration.

#### 1.2.2

 * Fixed: Part of the product edit screen could go blank or appear cut off on products
   with many attributes. The file-row watcher added in 1.2.1 was observing the entire
   edit screen and rescanning it on every DOM change, which blocked the browser 
   from finishing rendering.
 * Fixed: The plugin no longer applies a global scrollbar rule to the whole WordPress
   admin page. It is now limited to the S3 browser modal.
 * Improved: The “Browse S3” button is now injected using a debounced, narrowly 
   scoped watcher, which greatly reduces admin CPU usage on large products.

#### 1.2.1

 * Fixed: Selecting a file from the S3 browser sometimes did not insert it into 
   the WooCommerce downloadable file fields.
 * Improved: More reliable detection of the target file row and its inputs across
   WooCommerce versions.
 * Added: Clear error message instead of the modal closing silently on failure.

#### 1.2.0

 * Matched the loading skeleton search placeholder to the live search field.
 * Rebuilt the file browser modal with the new shadcn-style interface.
 * Improved upload feedback, keyboard focus states, and scrollbar stability.

#### 1.1.2

 * Fixed: Custom URL protocol corruption on first product save caused by early WordPress
   protocol caching (covers default `wc-s3cs://` and custom prefixes).
 * Updated: Internal vendor dependencies.

#### 1.1.1

 * Added: Custom Region configuration setting to manually define S3 regions for 
   AWS S3 and custom S3 endpoints, ensuring accurate Signature V4 signing and bucket
   listings.
 * Tested: Fully compatible with WordPress 7.0.

#### 1.1.0

 * Major Refactor: Replaced legacy iframe browser with modern AJAX implementation
   for improved performance.
 * Fixed: Critical issue where S3 uploads were considered successful despite 4xx/
   5xx HTTP errors.
 * Fixed: Signature mismatch in download presigned URLs for files with special characters
   or spaces.
 * Added: Strict pre-upload file validation (hash, size, and stream) for enhanced
   reliability.
 * Security: Sanitized `response-content-disposition` header in download links to
   prevent header injection.

#### 1.0.5

 * Improved: UI styles and enhanced layout consistency for better harmony.
 * Improved: Comprehensive code improvements and stability optimizations.
 * Added: Skeleton loader with shimmer animation for better UX while loading S3 
   browser modal.

#### 1.0.4

#### 1.0.3

 * Added proper PHPCS annotations for nonce verification and input sanitization

#### 1.0.2

   them inline

#### 1.0.1

 * Improved file browser to open directly in the folder of the existing file
 * Fixed issue with remembering last folder location
 * Use wp_enqueue commands: Replaced inline and in includes/class-media-library.
