Completes a direct external upload

POST 
/uploads/complete-external-upload.json

Completes an external upload initialized with /get-presigned-put. The file will be moved from its temporary location in external storage to a final destination in the S3 bucket. An Upload record will also be created in the database in most cases.

If a sha1-checksum was provided in the initial request it will also be compared with the uploaded file in storage to make sure the same file was uploaded. The file size will be compared for the same reason.

You must have the correct permissions and CORS settings configured in your external provider. We support AWS S3 as the default. See:

https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/210469#s3-multipart-direct-uploads-4.

An external file store must be set up and enable_direct_s3_uploads must be set to true for this endpoint to function.
