Strapi missing "Files Upload" section in admin panel?

I set up a new install of strapi with postgres as the db and am now trying to hook an s3 bucket for file uploads for when I deploy to heroku.

Am I missing something? Why am I not seeing a Files Upload option in my UI? (Screenshot below was taken from https://medium.com/@tamirp/strapi-%EF%B8%8Fmlab-%EF%B8%8Fheroku-%EF%B8%8F-s3-step-by-step-deployment-for-a-non-developer-1cae3ec3dfe0 tutorial regarding the part about adding your credentials to strapi and the version for that tutorial says 3.0.0)

I ran npm i strapi-provider-upload-aws-s3 but I can't even get to the part where you select that after you install it.

So the instructions are not 100% clear in my opinion but if you just manually create /extensions/upload/config/settings.json file/folders with your correct S3 bucket information and restart your server.

Then when you upload a file to the strapi media library it will automatically upload it to your s3 bucket! Cool!

{
  "provider": "aws-s3",
  "providerOptions": {
    "accessKeyId": "dev-key",
    "secretAccessKey": "dev-secret",
    "region": "aws-region",
    "params": {
      "Bucket": "my-bucket"
    }
  }
}
