Add ability to rename file downloaded from S3

💬 Feature Requests

Hi guys!

I'm looking for a way to rename the file that I download from S3. I know that some topics have this discussion, but none of them meet my requirements.

First of all, I tried to use this solution: S3 Download - Rename File - #2 by tgilland . I really can rename my files with it, but in this way some specific file extensions doesn't open (I got a message 'this file may be damaged'), for example I can't open .pdf, .json and .html files.

That's why I'm using the action type "Download a file from S3". In this way I can open all type of files that I download. But I can't rename them.

Is there a way that I can rename a file using the action type "Download a file from S3"? If not, could you please consider to develop a way to do so?

Thanks :wink:

Hey @Gustavo_Polonio, this isn't currently possible with that S3 action in Retool. I've submitted a feature request for this, and will update the thread here when there is any additional information to share.

Hi @joeBumbaca,
just stumbled across this issue as well and wanted to ask if there is any news?

Thanks for checking!

Hi @whynot :wave: This isn't something we're currently prioritizing but that can change depending on our backlog and demand from customers. Thanks for expressing your interest. I'll comment here if anything changes.

Hi @AbbeyHernandez is there any update here - we're getting the full s3 filepath which contains UUIDs and is super ugly to our users, we just want the filename itself and every forum post I see seems to point to no answer

Hey @Alex_ModernFi, this isn't currently on our roadmap, but I've linked ModernFi as a +1! One of our reps will update this thread if that changes.

Let us know when this works! @AbbeyHernandez

I agree with @Alex_ModernFi , it is ugly to download the file with the full s3 filepath.
