getting "The bucket does not allow ACLs" Error
27 Aug 2026, 20:52 UTC
This is my bucket policy
{
"Version" : "2012-10-17",
"ID" : "************",
"Statement" : [
{
"Sid" : "************",
"Effect" : "Allow",
"Principar" : "*",
"Action" : [
"s3:PutObject",
"s3:PutObjectAcl",
"s3:GetObject",
"s3:GetObjectAcl"
],
"Resource" : "************************"
}
]
}
{ "Version" : "2012-10-17", "ID" : "", "Statement" : [ { "Sid" : "", "Effect" : "Allow", "Principar" : "", "Action" : [ "s3:PutObject", "s3:PutObjectAcl", "s3:GetObject", "s3:GetObjectAcl" ], "Resource" : "***********************" } ] }
and here's the code I used to upload image:
[HttpPost]
public bool UploadFile(string file)
{
var s3Client = new AmazonS3Client(accesskey, secretkey, RegionEndpoint.APSoutheast1);
var fileTransferUtility = new TransferUtility(s3Client);
if (file.Length > 0)
{
var filePath = file;
var fileTransferUtilityRequest = new TransferUtilityUploadRequest
{
BucketName = bucketName,
FilePath = filePath,
StorageClass = S3StorageClass.StandardInfrequentAccess,
PartSize = 6291456, // 6 MB.
Key = keyName,
CannedACL = S3CannedACL.PublicRead
};
fileTransferUtilityRequest.Metadata.Add("param1", "Value1");
fileTransferUtilityRequest.Metadata.Add("param2", "Value2");
fileTransferUtility.Upload(fileTransferUtilityRequest);
fileTransferUtility.Dispose();
}
return true;
}
and getting "The bucket does not allow ACLs" even setting it to "ACLs enabled" in object ownership

You should be able to go to the AWS S3 console and navigate to the bucket details for the bucket you try to write objects to. You'll see a tab called 'Permissions'. There you have the option to change the "Object Ownership" at a block with te same title.
Once there, you can choose the option "ACLs enabled".
After applying those changes, you should be able to write objects with ACL options.
Your perspective belongs here.
