Steps
Create a Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem (CDSE) account, then generate S3 access-key/secret-key credentials from the credentials page (the secret is shown only once).
Point any S3-compatible client (aws-cli, boto3, rclone, etc.) at the endpoint https://eodata.dataspace.copernicus.eu (or the region-pinned https://eodata.ams.dataspace.copernicus.eu) using the generated keys.
First resolve the exact object path/key for the Sentinel-2 tile you need via CDSE's STAC or OData catalog search, since the S3 bucket cannot be meaningfully browsed by listing alone.
Fetch the product's constituent files (JP2 band rasters, metadata XML, etc.) with standard S3 GET/list-objects calls against the resolved key prefix.
Known gotchas
The S3 endpoint is read-only object storage for existing archive products — you still need the STAC/OData catalog to discover which product/key to fetch; there is no S3-native spatial/temporal search.
CDSE's global load balancer can route requests to either of two underlying clouds; use the region-specific endpoint instead of the default hostname if you need to pin to one backend for consistency.
S3 secret keys are shown once at creation time and cannot be retrieved again — store them securely immediately or you'll need to regenerate.
