You got it! You'll need three values set in settings.py:
https://github.com/explorerhq/django-sql-explorer/blob/64170...
def user_uploads_enabled():
return (EXPLORER_USER_UPLOADS_ENABLED and
EXPLORER_DB_CONNECTIONS_ENABLED and
S3_BUCKET is not None)
It should be in the docs, but I'll make sure it's more prominent!
