Copy files

Note: You can only copy files up to 5GB in a single operation

You can copy an existing file to a different path within the storage bucket using the copy API.

The copy method duplicates an existing file to a designated path and returns an object {path: 'destPath'} upon successful completion.

import { copy } from 'aws-amplify/storage';
const copyFile = async () => {
try {
const response = await copy({
source: {
path: 'album/2024/1.jpg',
// Alternatively, path: ({identityId}) => `album/{identityId}/1.jpg`
},
destination: {
path: 'shared/2024/1.jpg',
// Alternatively, path: ({identityId}) => `shared/{identityId}/1.jpg`
},
});
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error', err);
}
};

Cross identity ID copying is only allowed if the destination path has the the right access rules to allow other authenticated users writing to it.
