you can get them directly from your bucket via the url https://s3.<region>.amazonaws.com/<bucket>/<key>
Either display it directly via a component or let the user download it. But watch out: directly accessing files from your s3 can be expensive. You might want to use a CDN for it. If you want to stay at aws, use cloudfront as cdn and if you want a better alternative use bunnycdn

@cobalt dawn for my resume builder app should I save the templates as pdfs or html and css files?

I also went with cloudfront

And would I still be driectly accessing files now?

[cobalt dawn]

I would save them as pdfs. If you need data from them, scan them and extract the data. Then save the extracted data inside a database

[cobalt dawn]

That depends on the configuration you made for your bucket and cloudfront. Try accessing them in a incognito tab (inside it you won't have cookies and you are not logged in) and see if you can watch them

Like just got to the url?

go

do i still access them through the bucket

[cobalt dawn]

no, you want to access these files though your cdn (cloudfront). You should've got a https://wdowkdok.cloudfront.net/ domain. Use this and add you filekey to it. For example https://wdowkdok.cloudfront.net/myfilekey.png

were do I see this in the dashboard?

is it my ditribution domain name?

[cobalt dawn]

if you enter your cloudfront dashboard, you should see your distributions here. You need the green thing

[civic wave]

I get access denied

[cobalt dawn]

then you may misconfigured something

[civic wave]

How do i configure it correctly because I correctly configured the bucket to allow me access

[cobalt dawn]

you can use cloudfront OAC for. Like that only the cloudfront distribution can get objects from your s3 and of course others as well, when they request though cloudfront. Take a look at this guide: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudFront/latest/DeveloperGuide/private-content-restricting-access-to-s3.html

ok

I set everything up does it take some time to apply?

Becasue I have origin access set up and the cloudfront link is still access denied

[cobalt dawn]

Yea, it takes some time. But not more than 1 hour (from experience)

[cobalt dawn]

Try invalidating the cache from cloudfront
