make new objects in s3 bucket public by default

Question

I have an s3 bucket in which the objects within it need to be made public, right now anytime I upload a new file I have to click on it and then click "make public using acl" I wonder if there is a way to set it so any new file uploaded to my bucket is public by default. I tried giving the bucket itself public permission but I still have to make the individual objects public too.

For details see the post How to Make All Objects in Amazon S3 Bucket Public by Default.

To resume:

• Open the Properties for the bucket you want to make public

• Click "Permissions"

• Click "Edit bucket policy"

• Copy and paste the following text:

    {
      "Version": "2012-10-17",
      "Statement": [
        {
          "Sid": "PublicReadGetObject",
          "Action": "s3:GetObject",
          "Effect": "Allow",
          "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::test.h3xed.com/*",
          "Principal": "*"
        }
      ]
    }
  

• Change test.h3xed.com to the actual name of your bucket

• Click "Save".

Note: Users must still use the exact URL to your resources. They cannot view the "index" of your bucket or list its contents.

@fred, must probably your problem was solved by now. Related to your comment 'I get "You don't have permissions to edit bucket policy", I tried as root user and as IAM user with with full access.', it could be because the Block Public Access to your bucket is enabled (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/configuring-block-public-access-bucket.html). This can be set at bucket level or account level (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/configuring-block-public-access-account.html). Block public access bucket AWS S3 console
