Downloading files during sync

[mapa17]

Hello,

this might be a very stupid question, but should it be possible to download files from a private s3 bucket?

I managed to upload files to the desired s3 bucket, but none of the files present in the bucket seems to be downloaded when syncing (which I would expect to happen as part of a sync).

In addition I am very confused why in the example configuration the setting --acl public-read is used if one already specifies AWS credentials. The bucket I care about is not set to public.
