View An Object

View an object.

Now that you've added an object to a bucket, you can open and view it in a browser. You can also download the object to your local computer.

To open or download an object

  1. In the Amazon S3 console, in the Objects and Folders list, right-click the object or objects that you want to open or download, then click Open or Download as appropriate.

  2. If you are downloading the object, specifiy where you want to save the downloaded object. The procedure for saving the object will depend on the browser and operating system that you are using.

Note

By default your Amazon S3 buckets and objects are private. To make an object viewable by using a URL, for example https://s3.amazonaws.com/Bucket/Object, you must make the object publicly readable. Otherwise, you will need to create a signed URL that includes a signature with authentication information. For information on making objects publicly accessible, see Editing Object Permissions.
