Tried now, to set up IAM User with credentials and give it s3:\* permissions, and now the upload works, but discourse can´t display it afterwards:

As I´m working in a company, and there are SCP (Service control policies) active for our accounts, it seems that public access is generally blocked

 ![The image shows a settings page where public access is blocked for a bucket in Amazon S3. (Captioned by AI)](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/5/d/c/5dc96f9163c028db9855ab0802c5382f41d01c53.png)

Seems to be no S3 for me (and everyone having the same restrictions for his accounts)

Giving up now … ☹
