Working with Amazon S3 Buckets

How to Create New Amazon S3 Bucket

With CS Browser, you can easily create buckets in any Amazon S3 Region available to your account.

To create a new Amazon S3 Bucket:

1. Click Buckets -> Create New Bucket

   

   The Create New Bucket dialog will open:

   

2. Enter a unique bucket name. Amazon S3 bucket names are shared across all AWS accounts and Regions.

3. Choose the bucket Region. Select a Region close to your users and workloads, and consider latency, pricing, and data residency requirements. Changing the Region later requires creating another bucket and copying the data.

4. Click Create new bucket.

   The new bucket will appear in the bucket list.

   

   Once you have created a bucket, you can create folders to organize your files, and upload and download files to and from Amazon S3.

Additional settings:

Additional bucket settings are hidden by default. Click show more settings in the bottom-left corner of the Create New Bucket dialog to expand them.

The additional settings section will expand:

The following settings are available:

Enable S3 Object Lock - enables S3 Object Lock for the bucket. Object Lock can only be enabled when the bucket is created and automatically enables versioning. You can configure retention settings later.

Disable Access Control Lists (ACLs) - keeps S3 Object Ownership in Bucket owner enforced mode. The bucket owner owns every object, and permissions are managed with policies instead of ACLs. Keep this option enabled unless an existing workflow specifically requires ACLs.

Block all public access to this bucket - applies S3 Block Public Access after the bucket is created. Keep this option enabled unless the bucket is intended to serve public content and you understand the related bucket policy and ACL settings.
