[Meta issue] Upload plugin about documentation HOT 8 OPEN

Thanks @pwizla, created.

No time pressure from my end on this; our issue is solved now that we know where to look. This improvement will be for other strapi users.

@pwizla Well I landed here after i saw #20003 on the main strapi/strapi repository. So i thought I can help by rectifying the link on the documentation

(Edit: Thanks for mentioning the easy one for me :) Planning to fork the documentation repo now)

Oh, I see @SpeedAD! So you can probably create a PR for #20003 on the strapi/strapi repo.
I won't review it because I only maintain the strapi/documentation repository, but if in the future you need any help about creating PRs for strapi/documentation please just let me know 😊

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the correct spot to report this, but the documentation of the S3 Upload Plugin is out of date.

The doc described here, https://docs.strapi.io/dev-docs/plugins/upload, links to this S3 plugin page, but I'm not sure where to post this as an issue since the strapi monorepo points to this documentation repo for doc updates.

Long story short, the S3 plugin page's Configuration erroneously points to AWS SDK v2 docs, not the new v3 documentation. This led to a lot of frustration for my team as we tried to configure the plugin to work with our company's forward proxy.

Here are the v3 AWS SDK Docs for S3: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/v3/latest/client/s3/#s3clientconfig

Hi @d717an.
I'm sorry you're having troubles with the S3 Upload plugin.
Could you please create an issue in the strapi/strapi repo? As this is where the documentation for this package is managed, and I don't have control over this repo.
https://github.com/strapi/strapi/tree/main/packages/providers/upload-aws-s3

If you don't get any reply, I'll ping some engineers so they can have a quicker look to it.

Hey team,

If nobody has picked this up I'd love to make my first contribution!
I have been dwelling on supporting open source, and I feel starting by contributing via documentation would be good.
Let me know! @pwizla

Thanks, @d717an!
If no engineer takes care of your issue feel free to ping me and I'll create a PR myself in this other repo so it does not get stuck for too long (and I'll try to push them for a quick review 😄 🏃)

Hi @SpeedAD and thank you for your enthusiasm and willingness to help!
I am not sure what you would like to work on, though 🤔 What did you have in mind? 🙂
