Working with Folders

You can use the Amazon S3 Console to create folders, which you can use to group your objects. An Amazon S3 folder, just like a folder in a computer file system, is a means of grouping objects.

The folder name becomes part of the URL of the object in it. For example, if you upload an object called history.txt to the logs folder using the AWS Management Console, the full key name for this object is logs/history.txt.

As in a computer file system, you can have folders within folders. You can upload and copy objects directly into a folder.
