Even I was facing the same issue and I got it resolved.

For me the cause for this issue was I have been passing acl (Access control lists) key acl: 'public-read' to the multerS3 object params.

ACL key is case sensitive, instead of using acl: 'public-read' using ACL: 'public-read' worked fine.

Its ok if you didn't pass the ACL property in multerS3 object params.

If ACL not specified, then default is to store the file with ACL: 'private'

AWS supports the following options:

multerS3 with acl (Access denied):

var upload = multer({
   storage: multerS3({
        s3: s3,
        acl: 'public-read',
        bucket: BucketName,
        key: function (req, file, cb) {
            cb(null, new Date().toISOString() + '-' + file.originalname);
        }
    })
});

multerS3 with ACL (Works fine):

var upload = multer({
    storage: multerS3({
        s3: s3,
        ACL: 'public-read',
        bucket: BucketName,
        key: function (req, file, cb) {
            cb(null, new Date().toISOString() + '-' + file.originalname);
        }
    })
});

I solved this issue by going to my S3 Account in AWS Website and give full access to the public under Permissions tab. (

By the way it's not recommended as AWS said but it's the only way I found so that I get it done)

Did you find a way doing it without turning off the public access blocks? – kyw Feb 03 '20 at 08:39

You need to create the following policy using IAM:

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Sid": "VisualEditor0",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "s3:PutObject",
                "s3:PutObjectAcl"
            ],
            "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::your-bucket-name-here/*"
        }
    ]
}

your s3 bucket may not have public access. you can give your s3 bucket public access (not preferred) otherwise you can setup CloudFront distribution and provide necessary access to that distribution (preferred) follow this guide.
