Storage URRGGGG

[vendera]

I've posted before about the storage issue. I was told to use Amazon S3, but so far I have found it useless. I've added products to buckets yet I cannot even click on the link to that problem without getting an error. Why doesn't e-junkie offer more storage? I see many other sites popping up that are doing it. I love the service guys but unless I can get this problem solved immediately, I may have to find another shopping cart platform with unlimited storage. Not trying to complain as I have been with e-junkie for a long time, but I need a solution and I need it now. I am clueless, as all my options have not worked.

We're sorry to hear that you are having trouble with Amazon S3, but controlling the storage space we offer is a matter of cost effectiveness for us. We offer unlimited transactions and bandwidth for related downloads for over ten thousand paying merchants and many more trial or charity users. That in itself entails significant costs which we are able to cover through our low monthly payments, adding more permanent data storage on top of that would require us to raise our prices and there's so many more cost effective options available to you outside of our service. Expanding on the storage space we offer wouldn't actually offer you any real benefit for the increase in cost it would entail.



You don't have to use Amazon S3. Just about any webhost will do as long as you avoid file hosting services such as Rapidshare or Mediafire. Unless they prohibit it or charge storage costs higher than our own the very webhost you are using for your site would be sufficient.



If you can't store these files along with your webpages you might wish to consider switching to a host like DreamHost that will allow that. There is a coupon for their service on our resources page here:

Has anyone used the Online file folder from Godaddy? I have an account for files and they say it will work but I just uploaded a product and set it up on e-junkie, then sent myself a free link but it will not pull it. It just sends me a 2.4 kb binary bit:(
