Suppose that you have a website with a domain name (www.example.com or example.com) with links to photos and videos stored in your Wasabi bucket, YOUR_WEB_SITE_FULL_URL. By default, all the Wasabi resources are private, so only the account that created the resources can access them. To allow read access to these objects from your website, you can add a bucket policy that allows permission with a condition, that the get request must originate from specific webpages.

  1. Go to your Wasabi console

2. Go to bucket settings

3. Go to tab "POLICIES"

4. Add code to this area

{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": "s3:*",
      "Resource": "*",
      "Condition": {
        "StringLike": {
          "aws:Referer": "YOUR_WEB_SITE_FULL_URL"

Check if Auto Submit is disabled ("no")

Add a button or other element to trigger the action
