没有前端经验或用户无法访问 AWS 帐户的用户能否将文件上传到 S3 存储桶？

Question

I am looking to create an AWS solution where a lambda function will transform some excel data from a S3 bucket. When thinking about how I'm going to create the architecture background, I need to think of a way where I can get non-technical users, which don't have access to the AWS account, to upload data into a S3 bucket. One possible solution is using an S3 API and creating a UI to allow the users to upload the data. However, I do not have much experience with front end programming skills such as JS and HTML. Are there any other possible solutions we can use?

I've thought about creating a simple UI and using a S3 API to ingest data into the bucket but I do not have front end programming experience.

Some ideas:

• Serve a web page from somewhere (S3?) and have them upload via the browser, or
• Give them a simple program like CyberDuck and they can drag & drop files, or
• Setup the AWS Command-Line Interface (CLI) on their computer and have them double-click a script file to sync local disk folder to the s3 bucket, or
• Use Dropbox and Invoke Lambda Function on New File from Dropbox - Pipedream

The main thing to think about is how you want to secure the upload . For example, do they need to authenticate first, or do you want anyone in the world to be able to upload to the bucket (not a good idea.), Should each user have their own IAM User credentials? or should they authenticate to an application that manages its own logins?

Also, have a think about what you want to happen after they upload the file. If they need to download something after the file has been processed, then you'll need a way to 'give back' the new file .
