<object>.path is not the correct path file on amazon

I noticed that when I upload a file using the image field, the file reflects in my s3 bucket, but the url attached to the ImageField does not link back to the object, I get a 404 Error

Yes, that's correct. Because of path is the local system path for django, and because of this you can't use this storage as DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE. But <object>.url - must return file's URL…

Thanks for your quick response.
I did not use it as default storage. What I noticed is that at amazon changes the "/" separating folder and the file name to "%5C". That then invalidates the link
