Does Amazon S3 have folders?

Question

This documentation says that quote:

create a bucket with folders

IIUC S3 does not have folders. We can simulate folders by including the folder name in the object key like this:

folder1/key1.json
folder1/key2.json

Is my understanding correct?

Answer 1

you are correct - there are no real folders, they are just simulated based on the object key having the slash in its name.
