Couldn't find the bucket shared with me

Question

Someone shared a bucket with me by [bucket policy]. However, I couldn't find that bucket. I have tried search the bucket name because I thought maybe the bucket wouldn't appeared by itself. But it didn't work. By the way, I also didn't receive any e-mail about someone sharing files with me. How could I do?

Accepted Answer

Hello.

When using the management console, I believe that S3 buckets can only be viewed by the AWS account that owns the bucket.  
In other words, you need to search by the source AWS account that shares the S3 bucket.

By the way, how did you know that the S3 bucket was shared?  
You can upload and download objects using AWS APIs (such as the AWS CLI or SDK) if your AWS account's IAM user, etc., has access rights in your S3 bucket's bucket policy.
