How to share a bucket on S3
By Dave Winer on Tuesday, January 11, 2011 at 2:39 PM.

This isn't new and it isn't a breakthrough, I just need a doc that shows people how to share a bucket with someone else. It turns out this is a very important feature when bootstrapping a blogging system where your content isn't in someone else's silo (otherwise known as silo-free blogging). It turns out it's pretty easy, and credit for realizing how important this is goes to Joe Moreno of Adjix#

You're going to share a bucket with me. This will mean that I will be able to store stuff in your bucket. For this experiment I'll just post a picture there. Once you get the picture you can take my name off your bucket.  #

1. Log into Amazon's AWS portal, click on the S3 tab.  #

2. Click on one of your buckets, in the left column. #

3. Click the Properties button. #

4. In the bottom panel, click on Add more permissions, then enter the long id below in Grantee, check Upload/Delete and click Save. Screen shot. If you're not sure what you're doing, you can skip this whole deal. Be careful about granting permissions to buckets.  #

5. Post a comment here with the name of your bucket. (Assuming comments are still enabled, I'll disable them after the experiment is over.) #
