Filepicker and s3 without revealing s3 secretkey to filepicker

Question

Is it possible to use filepicker to upload to S3, using a presigned S3 policy, without revealing my s3 secret key to filepicker.

From their current documentation found here - https://developers.filepicker.io/page/s3/, we need to provide them our s3 secret key.

I know s3 supports browser based uploads using POST, which we can sign using the policy. Is this something filepicker can leverage?

While it is technically possible, the Filepicker system does not work in this way. We require your S3 keys in order to upload to S3.
