Description

Currently the S3Client needs the credentials to be used, but what happens if i already have a boto3 client somewhere initialized and i want to use the S3Client class?

Is it possible to allow for the S3Client to take a boto3 client that has already been created? It would be simply passing the client at the constructor

Contributor guide

Research direction
Modify the S3Client constructor to accept an optional boto3 client parameter. If provided, use it; otherwise, create a new one. Ensure backward compatibility and proper handling of credentials.
