    "Version": "2008-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Sid": "AllowFileUpload",
            "Effect": "Allow",

                "AWS": "arn:aws:iam::XXXXXXX:user/instaswan"
            },
            "Action": [
                "s3:GetObject",
                "s3:PutObject",
                "s3:PutObjectAcl"
            ],
            "Resource": [
                "arn:aws:s3:::instaswan-dev",
                "arn:aws:s3:::instaswan-dev/*"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

Be sure to include both the top-level and "/*" Resource, and include any other "Action" attributes you need.
