How to setup a public accessible S3 bucket

You often need an s3 bucket where other people can download files from. This tutorial shows you how to set that up.

Thanks for your tutorial! It's very clear and I liked how you explored a bit on the permissions setting 😊

You are the best presenter I have ever seen on YouTube. The rate you keep things moving is so relieving. In most videos I watch like this, I get a stomach ache.

Thank you for this tutorial. You are a lifesaver. I am currently studying for my cloud practitioner certification and most tutorials online still have the old console dashboard. Feels so good to watch your videos. Please do you have more videos on the cloud practitioner course?

Great video thank you

I'm looking to host video files in there and then have zapier pull that video from a google sheet (via a direct url) and then post it into Buffer (a social media scheduling software)

I currently do it for images with ImgBB but they don't offer the service with videos.

Is this doable do you think?

For some reason, the snippet is no longer in the docs and it mentions just unchecking block public access. Here is the snippet that got it working for me.

{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Principal": "*",
"Action": "s3:GetObject",
"Resource":
}
]
}

Is it possible to share the whole bucket? Id like to allow someone to browse/view/access the entire contents of the bucket.

Hey Cody, nice video, but I could not open the S3 objects from my public bucket. AWS has updated the settings and it looks different now, could you tell me what different do I need to do?
In permissions, there is a Block all public access check mark that AWS docs tell to uncheck, which I did. I can see the 'Objects can be public ' access type for this bucket. Then I uploaded files directly into console, and also via an API I have written. And I can also see the ARN URL for these objects, but when I open them, I see this:
This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.
<Error>
<Code>AccessDenied</Code>
<Message>Access Denied</Message>


</Error>

(Also tried opening in different browsers, did not work)
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you very much.

If you are letting anyone read the files, do you even need a bucket policy….?

[GouraGopalDalai]

Able to access files but unable to access the folders. Says access Denied.
