Do you mean that the file upload has to be done separately (outside
magnolia) and then you create a node that references the file from
within magnolia? If so, that's pretty much what we used to do before
we started using S3+Cloudfront (which we now use instead of straight
apache because it makes for a very cost effective content delivery
network).
Or do you mean that you've written a page that allows users to upload
directly to the file system from within magnolia, then automatically
creates the reference node?

We go a different route for that - we just use a regular page where
one can upload a file and just create a node with a reference to the
file but store the file somewhere on the file system where it can be
directly served from apache.

I have a site that currently uses Magnolia for managing most of it,
but has quite a lot of movie content - the movie files are up to
600mb in size, and need to stream smoothly, hence I currently use
Amazon S3 storage + Cloudfront content delivery network. The
solution works pretty well, but the problem is that there's no way
to manage the movie files from within Magnolia, which makes
uploading and changing movies complex, time consuming and error
prone.
Is there any way to change the back end file system used by the DMS
to use S3 (or something similar)?
My idea would be that the DMS would keep metadata about files in
the database, but actually store the files on S3 (perhaps with a
local master copy too, just so that everything is in one place for
migrations etc). When a file was requested it would return the S3
URL for the file so it would be served directly from Amazon through
their content delivery network.
