Amazon Storage (Simple Storage Service)
How can I use Amazon to store call recordings for PowerDialer?
Overview
When call recording is enabled, PowerDialer and Click-to-Call create digital audio files for live calls and store them on your application server. These recordings are considered part of your data usage. Third-party recording storage tools provide some additional ways to help you manage this storage and reduce costs. This utility currently allows clients to use their own FTP / SFTP server or connect to an Amazon S3 account.
Note: If you move the file from the destination specified in the setup it will break the link, meaning you will no longer be able to access the recording through SF.
