    Hi,

    I am using a custom module to collect user info. There is a custom registration form too. We can customize the code as it is our own custom module. The user saves his data and uploads his profile picture too. I know currently, it is saving to the DNN file system. But I want to save it to external places (AWS3 folder) and save only the link to the picture. How can I do this? Can I use an external link for the profile picture? We are saving all our files to AWS3 and we just need to keep the DNN website files simple and lightweight.

    Please, can anybody advise me about this? I really appreciate it if you can support me. My website is DNN 9.3.2

    Thank you!

      If you are using a custom module to collect user info, you can save it anywhere you like, I believe. You need a module (e.g. Evotica Global storage) to integrate with dnn. All files from the selected storage location in AWS are visible in the file manager and thus also have a file id. You need to save this fileid in the userprofile table fot the userid and profilepropertyid
