Take full advantage of object storages

[CarlSchwan]

When we are using an object store and not using server side encryption, Nextcloud clients (web/desktop/...) should do as many operation as possible directly on the object store without relying on Nextcloud. This is possible thanks to pre-signed links which allow to do some operation for a certain amount of time.

Must have (P0/S)

• Download files from S3 directly perf(s3): Provide direct pre-signed download link #54436
  • Support for desktop client
  • Support for web client
  • Support for iOS client
  • Support for Android client
• Download files from S3 to generate previews feat(previews): allow ffmpeg to connect direct for AWS S3 buckets #53634
• Download previews from S3 directly Un-authentificated previews loading using pre-signed urls #54622

Nice to have (P2/M)

• Upload files to S3 directly

Note that presigned urls are even possible with server side or customer encryption (you were mentioning and not using server side encryption).

Functionality could be extended to allow specification of front-facing S3 servers, which are not necessarily equal to the internally configured S3 server.
