Follow | Sharing Amazon S3 Buckets and Files (ACLs)How to Make Your Files Publicly AvailableWith CS Browser Freeware, you can make your files publicly available to everyone. This is required if you plan to use these files on your website or if you want to send one or more files to someone. This procedure applies only to buckets with ACLs enabled. New Amazon S3 buckets use the Bucket owner enforced Object Ownership setting by default, which disables ACLs. Amazon S3 Block Public Access can also reject or ignore public ACLs. To Make Your Files Public
How to Share an Amazon S3 Bucket with Another AWS UserSee How to Share an Amazon S3 Bucket with Another AWS Account to grant an existing AWS user access to your bucket. See Amazon S3 Bucket Sharing Wizard to create a user under your AWS account and grant that user access to your bucket. How to Edit Bucket and File PermissionsThe instructions above explain the basics of editing permissions. This section describes the additional controls available on the Permissions tab. Permissions Table - RowsEach row represents a grantee. There are four types of grantees:
Owner - Every Amazon S3 bucket or file has an owner: the user who created it. The owner of a bucket or file cannot be changed. Any AWS Users - Anyone with an AWS account. This is inherently insecure because any AWS user who knows about the bucket or file can access it, but this authentication method may be useful in some cases. All Users - Anonymous access to an Amazon S3 bucket or file. Anyone can access files granted to this group. User by Email/ID - A user with an AWS account. Use the canonical user ID to specify the user. Amazon S3 discontinued Email Grantee ACLs on October 1, 2025, in the affected AWS Regions. Users who are granted access can open buckets and files using their AWS credentials. Permissions Table - ColumnsEach column represents a permission. A permission describes the type of access granted to the corresponding grantee. There are five permissions:
Full Control - Provides Read, Write, Read ACP and Write ACP permissions. It does not provide any additional rights and is included for convenience. Read - When applied to a bucket, grants permission to list the bucket. When applied to a file, grants permission to read the file data and metadata. Write - When applied to a bucket, grants permission to create, overwrite and delete files in the bucket. This permission is not supported for files. Read Permissions (READ ACP) - Allows a user to read permissions for the specified bucket or file. Write Permissions (WRITE ACP) - Allows a user to overwrite permissions for the specified bucket or file. The owner of a bucket or file always has this permission implicitly. Granting this permission is equivalent to granting Full Control because the recipient can change any permission. Permissions ToolbarMake public grants Read permission to All Users, making the selected files available to everyone. Make private resets permissions and makes the selected files private. More > Add user by Email/ID adds another AWS user to the grantees list. More > Remove user removes the selected user from the grantees list. Apply for all subfolders and files applies the permissions to all subfolders and files. Apply changes saves the permission changes. Reload reloads the permissions. All unsaved changes will be lost. | CS Browser 13.5.5 Freeware  Social Connection Our customers say "CS Browser is an invaluable tool to me as a web developer to easily manage my automated site backups" -Bob Kraft, Web Developer "Just want to show my appreciation for a wonderful product.
