Hello - I am new to thunkable and have been trying to figure out how using the web API I can upload a picture from the app to aws S3. Any leads/examples or helpful article would help.  
Thanks!

This requires using the webviewer and an html/js solution. Definitely will need a file picker. There is a string about this in the forum already, I believe it was @muneer or @deluxe perhaps that demonstrated the solution.

You can use a staging approach. Load the image to cloudinary using the image block and from there pick the url of your image and load it to AWS S3.
