Uploading the user-selected file to Amazon S3

See original GitHub issue

In boto3 related documentation, examples of uploading files to Amazon S3 seem to be only for files already existing on the disk. How do I upload files that are selected by users from an HTML form input <input type="file" name="fileToUpload">?

I asked the same question on stackoverflow too, but not getting any answer so far.

When can I use:

session = boto3.session.Session(gs_access_key_id=GS_ACCESS_KEY, gs_secret_access_key=GS_SECRET_KEY)
gs = session.resource('gs')
gs.Bucket(GS_BUCKET_NAME).put_object(Key=cloudFilename, Body=request.FILES['fileToUpload'])

@jamesls. I have to save the user-uploaded file first, and then upload it to S3 using put_object(). Well, it’s not so troublesome after all. BTW, when will boto3 support uploading files to Google Cloud Storage?
