Answer 1

This could be due to recent changes in S3. To fix this issue, you need to assign Public Access to the bucket, follow the below steps:

1. In the Permissions tab click on the Block Public Access settings.

2. Click Edit to the right of these settings.

3. Make sure Block public access to buckets and objects granted through new public bucket or access point policies option is deselected.

4. Click Save.

5. Go back to the Bucket Policy and try again.
