When I go to console in AWS by clicking the yellow cube in the top corner it directs me to the following url:
https://ap-southeast-1.console.aws.amazon.com/console/home?region=ap-southeast-1
This is correct, cause my app is used primarily in Southeast Asia.
Now when I go to my S3 bucket, right click and select properties, I see:
Bucket: examplebucket
Region: US Standard
I believe that when I first created my AWS account I had set it to us-west-2 and then later changed it to ap-southeast-1. Is there something I need to do is change the region of the s3 bucket from 'US Standard'?
In the navbar, under global it says "S3 does not require region selection." which is confusing to me.
The bucket is being used for photo storage. The majority of my web users are in Southeast Asia.
It would certainly make sense to locate the bucket closest to the majority of your users. Also, consider using Amazon CloudFront to cache objects, providing even faster data access to your users.
Each Amazon S3 bucket resides in a single region. Any data placed into that bucket stays within that region. It is also possible to configure cross-region replication of buckets, which will copy objects from one bucket to a different bucket in a different region.
The Amazon S3 management console displays all buckets in all regions (hence the message that "S3 does not require region selection"). Clicking on a bucket will display the bucket properties, which will show the region in which the bucket resides.
It is not possible to 'change' the region of a bucket. Instead, you should create a new bucket in the desired region and copy the objects to the new bucket. The easiest way to copy the files is via the AWS Command-Line Interface (CLI), with a command like:
aws s3 cp s3://source-bucket s3://destination-bucket --recursive
If you have many files, it might be safer to use the sync option, which can be run multiple times (in case of errors/failures):
aws s3 sync s3://source-bucket s3://destination-bucket
Please note that if you wish to retain the name of the bucket, you would need to copy to a temporary bucket, delete the original bucket, wait for the bucket name to become available again (10 minutes?), create the bucket in the desired region, then copy the objects to the new bucket.

I want to copy the S3 bucket object to a different account, but the requirement can't use the Bucket policy,
then is it possible to copy content from one bucket to another without using the bucket policy?
You cannot use native S3 object replication between different accounts without using a bucket policy. As stated in the permissions documentation:
When the source and destination buckets aren't owned by the same accounts, the owner of the destination bucket must also add a bucket policy to grant the owner of the source bucket permissions to perform replication actions
You could write a custom application that uses IAM roles to replicate objects, but this will likely be quite involved as you'll need to track the state of the bucket and all of the objects written to it.
install AWS CLI,
run AWS configure set source bucket credentials as default and,

I need to copy some S3 objects from a client. The client sent us the key and secret and I can list the object using the following command.
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=.... AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=.... aws s3 ls s3://bucket/company4/
I will need to copy/sync s3://bucket/company4/ (very large) of our client's S3. In this question Copy content from one S3 bucket to another S3 bucket with different keys, it mentioned that it can be done by creating a bucket policy on the destination bucket. However, we probably don't have permission to create the bucket policy because we have limited AWS permissions in our company.
I know we can finish the job by copying the external files to local file system first and then upload them to our S3 bucket. Is there a more efficient way to do the work?
I'm trying to use an S3 bucket to upload files to as part of a build, it is configured to provide files as a static site and the content is protected using a Lambda and CloudFront. When I manually create files in the bucket they are all visible and everything is happy, but when the files are uploaded what is created are not available, resulting in an access denied response.
The user that's pushing to the bucket does not belong in the same AWS environment, but it has been set up with an ACL that allows it to push to the bucket, and the bucket with a policy that allows it to be pushed to by that user.
The command that I'm using is:
aws s3 sync --no-progress --delete docs/_build/html "s3://my-bucket" --acl bucket-owner-full-control
Is there something else that I can try that basically uses the bucket permissions for anything that's created?
According to OP's feedback in the comment section, setting Object Ownership to Bucket owner preferred fixed the issue.
I have suspended object versioning on my S3 Bucket, but I don't want to have to select the check box that says "I acknowledge that existing objects with the same name will be overwritten" every time I upload photos to the s3 bucket.
I successfully set up an S3 Bucket Policy to make it so I don't have to specify that I want the uploads to be publicly viewable on every upload. Is there also an S3 Bucket Policy I can set to bypass the checkmark as well?
Thank you

Sadly, this is new S3 console future. It is not related to the bucket policies.
You can use AWS CLI or SDK to upload objects "peacefully", without any distractions if you want to skip all the S3 console steps.
I'm trying to copy Amazon AWS S3 objects between two buckets in two different regions with Amazon AWS PHP SDK v3. This would be a one-time process, so I don't need cross-region replication. Tried to use copyObject() but there is no way to specify the region.
$s3->copyObject(array(
'Bucket' => $targetBucket,
'Key' => $targetKeyname,
'CopySource' => "{$sourceBucket}/{$sourceKeyname}",
));
Source:
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/CopyingObjectUsingPHP.html
You don't need to specify regions for that operation. It'll find out the target bucket's region and copy it.
But you may be right, because on AWS CLI there is source region and target region attributes which do not exist on PHP SDK. So you can accomplish the task like this:
Create an interim bucket in the source region.
Create the bucket in the target region.
Configure replication from the interim bucket to target one.
On interim bucket set expiration rule, so files will be deleted after a short time automatically from the interim bucket.
Copy objects from source bucket to interim bucket using PHP SDK.
All your objects will also be copied to another region.
You can remove the interim bucket one day later.
Or use just cli and use this single command:
aws s3 cp s3://my-source-bucket-in-us-west-2/ s3://my-target-bucket-in-us-east-1/ --recursive --source-region us-west-2 --region us-east-1
Different region bucket could also be different account. What others had been doing was to copy off from one bucket and save the data temporary locally, then upload to different bucket with different credentials. (if you have two regional buckets with different credentials).
Newest update from CLI tool allows you to copy from bucket to bucket if it's under the same account. Using something like what Çağatay Gürtürk mentioned.
