Hello @Quentin_Farizon, welcome to the community.
Can you please check directly in your database what does the data look like ? Is it only the aws url ? or do you have code as well ?
To me it looks like the code + url is stored in your database.
If this is the case, there might be an issue with the upload, rather than the list.

Ok,
Did you configure anything in the widgets ([edit and display](https://docs.forestadmin.com/user-guide/collections/customize-your-fields)) for the Logo field in the frontend ?
There are options to add prefixes for files in here, so that could be your issue.

Ok.
Could you try setting up a prefix using the [widget file display config](https://docs.forestadmin.com/user-guide/collections/customize-your-fields/display-widgets#prefix) so that the frontend can access the image as the correct url ?

But without any widget configuration, why is it not returning the raw text ? Do you have some documentation on what the plugin-aws-s3 does on get/list ?

I have tried setting widget file with my prefix [https://certainty-preprod.s3.eu-west-3.amazonaws.com](https://certainty-preprod.s3.eu-west-3.amazonaws.com)
But it is adding it twice : [https://certainty-preprod.s3.eu-west-3.amazonaws.com/https://certainty-preprod.s3.eu-west-3.amazonaws.com/public/VendorCompany/tLa9mbJqQhC0smOw.jpeg?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Content-Sha256=UNSIGNED-PAYLOAD&X-Amz-Credential=AKIA2UC26O7DR4N2LMYF%2F20240718%2Feu-west-3%2Fs3%2Faws4\_request&X-Amz-Date=20240718T150438Z&X-Amz-Expires=300&X-Amz-Signature=d2f465459bc7213bfa011833d7d298fb4f81eaec32a2795f9edc88be69dc5699&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&x-id=GetObject](https://certainty-preprod.s3.eu-west-3.amazonaws.com/https://certainty-preprod.s3.eu-west-3.amazonaws.com/public/VendorCompany/tLa9mbJqQhC0smOw.jpeg?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Content-Sha256=UNSIGNED-PAYLOAD&X-Amz-Credential=AKIA2UC26O7DR4N2LMYF%2F20240718%2Feu-west-3%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20240718T150438Z&X-Amz-Expires=300&X-Amz-Signature=d2f465459bc7213bfa011833d7d298fb4f81eaec32a2795f9edc88be69dc5699&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&x-id=GetObject)

I have tried disabling the customization with plugin-aws-s3, and the reading works fine now :
- with widget text, I get the raw key path from my db
- with widget file + prefix, my images are displayed

I believe I have found the root of the issue in the `@forestadmin/plugin-aws-s3` package.
A fix is on the way.

Thinking about it, it would make sense for me to presign url myself, in a model hook (I have plugged FA onto Sequelize), so that both ForestAdmin retrieval and standard retrieval have the same mechanism. In this context, maybe the plugin should have a readMode: ‘passthrough’ (or “ignore” ? or “bypass” ?) that sends the value as-is.
I’ve patched it, it works well !
Here is the patch :

Hello @Quentin_Farizon,
I’m glad that you have found a solution that works for you.
If you need it, the [fix for the plugin](https://github.com/ForestAdmin/agent-nodejs/releases/tag/%40forestadmin%2Fplugin-aws-s3%401.3.80) is live now.
Please mark this post as solved 🙏

Ok, the fix makes sense 🙂
I may have to use passthrough or not, depending on the use case.
Would you consider adding passthrough mode in the library ? Maintaining a patch isn’t ideal, and I’m sure this would be useful for others (and easily documented)

Hello @Quentin_Farizon,
The `@forestadmin/plugin-aws-s3` repository is open source: would you be willing to make a pull request with your suggestion ? It will be reviewed and integrated in mainline if ok.
Thanks !
