Using CloudBerry

Freeware version. Free S3 browser comes with full support for such AWS features and services as Server Side Encryption, Lifecycle rules, Amazon CloudFront, Bucket Policies and more.

Open your VS Code and go to 'Extensions' on the left hand side and click on it. Search for AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio Code. Once you find it, it's a fairly straightforward process to install it!
