I’m using a software that automatically puts files into my Space, but it makes them private, and I want them to be public. Is there any way to do this?

Hi there,

What is the software that you are using to upload your files to Spaces?

For example, if you are using Python the bellow code snippet should allow you to upload a file and make it public:

from boto3.session import Session

def upload_file_and_make_it_public(filename: str, file_obj: BytesIO, bucket: str):
    session = Session(
            aws_access_key_id="...",
            aws_secret_access_key="...",
            region_name="...",
    )
    client = session.client(
            "s3", endpoint_url="https://...digitaloceanspaces.com", region_name="...",
    )
    client.upload_fileobj(Bucket=bucket, Key=filename, Fileobj=file_obj)
    resource = session.resource(
            "s3", endpoint_url="https://....digitaloceanspaces.com", region_name="...",
    )
    resource.Object(bucket, filename).Acl().put(ACL='public-read')
