How can you tell if an object is a folder on AWS S3

Question

I doesn\'t appear in the meta data--whether an object is a folder or not. Is there a specific method you guys on SO know of? I can\'t find anything of worth in Google search.<

Answer 1

Objects are not folders. From the docs:

An Amazon S3 bucket has no directory hierarchy such as you would find in a typical computer file system. You can, however, create a logical hierarchy by using object key names that imply a folder structure.

The best you can do is use GET Bucket (list objects) to get some info about the contents of the bucket:
