Trying to upload PDF’s I have followed all the posts here on how to do it and nothing works - always blocked even if smaller than limit size set. I have added ‘pdf’ to the allowed file suffixes list. Consequently created an AWS Free Tier S3 account and a backet. Nothing uploads to S3, not even images.

I appear to be hopelessly lost. Any pointers as to why using S3 with proper access keys wont work?

Self hosted Docker install.
