Following your post, we've pushed forth the work on it and finished it. Here is the plugin: [ www.hikashop.com/marketplace/product/309-amazon-s3.html](https://www.hikashop.com/marketplace/product/309-amazon-s3.html) It has an import screen so you can easily migrate the files you already have to S3.
