FAQ Q: Why no background upload? A: Apple's app sandbox does not allow it. This only works by moving the camera roll to temporary storage prior to upload.

Q: Does Datapulter check that source and destination match? Not currently. Datapulter maintains a local file list but If you uninstall then reinstall you will need to do a full backup. Likewise if you alter the destination manually by adding or removing objects.

Q: What IAM permission do I need for S3? A: ListAllMyBuckets is used for account authorization. The others used are: AbortMultipartUpload, GetObject, GetObjectAcl, ListMultipartUploadParts, PutObject, and PutObjectAcl.

Q: What is the "prefix" parameter? A: Object storage has no concept of a directory. Most clients however will allow you to simulate a directory structure by adding a prefix to the filename.

Q: What is Virtual Hosting for S3 providers? A: Some S3-compliant providers may support Virtual Hosting or Path-style syntax for forming endpoint URLs. Datapulter supports both.
