How can I copy files bigger than 5 GB in Amazon S3?

Question

Amazon S3 REST API documentation says there\'s a size limit of 5gb for upload in a PUT operation. Files bigger than that have to be uploaded using multipart. Fine.

Answer 1

The now standard .copy method will perform multipart uploads for files larger than 5gb. Official Docs

import boto3
s3 = boto3.resource('s3')
copy_source = {
    'Bucket': 'mybucket',
    'Key': 'mykey'
}
s3.meta.client.copy(copy_source, 'otherbucket', 'otherkey')
