Usually when I upload to S3 storage, I use an AmazonS3Client like this:

var client = Amazon.AWSClientFactory.CreateAmazonS3Client(accessKey, secretKey, s3Config)

This works fine for internal use but now I am looking at providing an app to external users and don’t want our (sacret) access & secret keys to be out there. I’ve set up an S3 bucket with a bucket policy allowing uploads (PutObject) from anonymous users but how do I use the Amazon SDK now? I can’t seem to find any way without providing the access and secret key.

    You just need to pass null for accessKey and secretKey and you can use the SDK for any anonymously allowed operation.

    Check out this related question of mine it includes an official response from an Amazon employee from their developer forum! Relevant information from the linked question:

    This is from an official Amazon employee on their forum:

    As of the 1.3.8.0 release of the SDK you can pass null for the access
    and secret key and the SDK will skip the signing process and try the
    operations like GetObject as a public operation.
