How have you configured your S3 buckets? You might have a look at Using Object Storage for Uploads (S3 & Clones) and configure S3 with environment variables as described there.

I have configured my s3 through the admin setting page. [image] Do I still have to configure the S3 environment variables in app.yml?

Isn’t this because you left the S3 upload bucket field blank? It looks to me like it is trying to call downcase on a blank value.
