   1. Click on the Permissions tab
   2. Clear both …access control lists (ACLs) checkboxes (or verify they are already cleared)
   3. Click Save
   4. Type confirm
   5. Click Confirm
   6. Click on the Overview tab
3. Drag the file(s) you want to upload to the bucket into the object upload area
4. Click Next
5. If, and only if, you want to make this object(s) publically readable then under Manage public permissions select Grant public read access to this object(s)
