Why Copy S3 Bucket from One Account to Another?

AWS S3 stands for Simple Storage Service - one of the most used AWS services. Launched in 2006, this object-based storage platform has been loved by many IT and enterprise users. With the help of AWS S3, data is stored as objects in resources called buckets, which provide storage space and a single object can take up to 5 TB in size.

Because this object storage method can save a lot of costs, many enterprises are using it. Additionally, S3 provides various data management such as data lakes, websites, mobile applications, backup and recovery, archives, enterprise applications, IoT devices, and big data analytics. However, in the process of using AWS S3, users will inevitably need to copy files between buckets.

In this post, I will show you how to copy files from one S3 bucket to another S3 bucket without writing any script or code.
