Handle buckets with retention policy

[leocape]

The bucket that I want to upload the file to has a retention policy, ie. files in it cannot be deleted.

After the file is copied to the target folder, the module attempts to delete the tmp folder that was created - which returns a 403 Object 'xxxx/uploads/tmp/1666619955-603810510513191-0001-1813/xxxxxx.jpg' is subject to bucket's retention policy and cannot be deleted, overwritten or archived until 2027-10-24T13:01:49.373695-07:00

Is there something we can do to avoid using the bucket for the tmp directory - such as copy the file directly to the target folder?

(I noticed in the store method there is a flag delete_tmp_file_after_storage that presumably could be used as a workaround to prevent attempting to delete tmp file, but that isn't ideal as we would then be storing doubles for each file ie double the storage cost etc)

Thanks

Further - this plugin's design also essentially precludes the ability to change storage types as well, as deleting a file while using anything other than 'Standard storage' has an 'early delete cost to it

This plugin should really be refactored in a way that it does not temporarily upload the file and then copy it, and then delete the original.

What is the benefit of uploading it first, only to copy it and delete the original?
