You can upload files directly from your browser using AWS S3 JavaScript SDK.

One approach is to implement a mechanism to request for temporary access credentials directly or indirectly from AWS STS to assume an AWS IAM role that allows S3 upload.
Another approach is to generate AWS S3 Presigned Post using AWS S3 SDK from a backend that sends temporary access credentials to upload content to a private bucket.

Hello there thanks for your answer Do you have a video for that? I think I need a very complicated video

I don't have a video for it, but just updated the answer with an example using a simpler approach using temporary access credentials.
