Hello Folks,
Can’t we have option to attach uuid as suffix ?
25 character long prefix is a problem when we want to sort files. Even when download files from S3, file name is not readable.

Poonam.
Hi Zeroqode,
I agree with Poonam regarding the UUID prefix.
I understand the file name should be unique, to allow for multiple files with the same name to be uploaded.
However, the Zeroqode UUID is added as a prefix to the existing file name, and it is 37 characters long. This makes the filename virtually unreadable by a human, and you cannot usefully sort them by name, because the first 37 characters are unreadable.
I would ask for two things:
- Have an option to add the UUID as a suffix (at the end of the filename) instead of a prefix (at the beginning of the filename).
- Implement a shorter UUID, or have the option to choose a shorter UUID. 8 alpha-numeric characters including upper & lowercase will give over 218 trillion variations.
We love your plug-ins and would love them even more if you could add the suggested features to your plug-in “AWS” File uploader.
Thanks Zeroqode.
Regards,
Moss
Hello, @moss and @poonam
Thanks for your appreciation and suggestion.
Folder structure defines the way the files are stored in the S3 bucket. Available values in the current plugin version are next:
“uuid_filename” - the Unique ID will be added to the file name;
“uuid/filename” - the file will be added to a new folder that will have Unique ID as a name, while the file name will remain unchanged;
“folder_name/uuid_filename” - the folder name indicated in the next property will be used, and the Unique ID will become part of the file name; if this value is selected, but the ‘Folder name’ property is not set or is set to a dynamic value that resolves to ‘null’, the folder name 'unknown ’ will be used.
As for the Prefix to the file name, if this checkbox checked, file names will get custom prefixes to make it easier to locate them on S3 Bucket, thus you can sort your files.
Your feedback is very important for us, so I will discuss with our Developer Team in order to receive their feedback regarding this request.
Best regards,
By this message, I would like to notify you that we analyzed your request and decided to make a small improvement for our plugin 
We’ve added a new feature, so you will be able to select the next type of the Filenames Prefix:
Please upgrade the plugin to the latest version and give it a try 
I hope that it will be helpful for you.
