  1. In JomSocial's Backend, click Configuration.
  2. From there click Remote Storage found on top-left of the configuration bar.
  3. Under Storage Methods, choose whether you want to store the datas locally, "Local Server" or out in the cloud "Amazon S3".
  4. Then fill in your Amazon S3 details under Amazon S3.
  5. The bucket path here is the name of the bucket that you want to store the datas. For example, if the URL of your Amazon S3 looks like this: http://bucket-name.s3.amazonaws.com/images/avatar/****.jpg.
  6. Then the bucket name is bucket-name.
  7. If you're opting for Amazon S3's Reduced Redundancy Storage, change the Amazon Storage Class from Standard to Reduced Redundancy. For more information regarding Reduced Redundancy Storage, please click here.

Note: Bucket name should only contain lower case letters, no special characters, no numbers, and no capital letters
