Inspiration
We kept running into storage limitations with JIRA Cloud, and also wanted to make it easier to attach files to JIRA issues.
What it does
It allows you to connect your JIRA Instance to an Amazon S3 Bucket, and then store files on a project level or issue level. Files are stored in S3. Files are arranged in a simple manner by project key and issue key, so uploading files to an issue is a simple as pushing them to the right location in the S3 bucket. (Ideal for large file uploads from servers for logs, ..etc).
How I built it
using the atlassian-connect sdk with node.js, express, react, and aws s3 sdk.
Challenges I ran into
The lack of really good documentation and better samples on the connect sdk, as well as getting acquainted with the S3 API.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
The fact that we built a connect add-on :)
What's next for Simple Cloud Files
- additional features like public sharing of files, a gallery mode for viewing files, and versioning.
- also the ability to define separate S3 buckets for each project.
