Answer 1

The concept of directory is abstract in Google Cloud Storage. From the docs (How Subdirectories Work) :

gsutil provides the illusion of a hierarchical file tree atop the "flat" name space supported by the Google Cloud Storage service. To the service, the object gs://your-bucket/abc/def.txt is just an object that happens to have "/" characters in its name. There is no "abc" directory; just a single object with the given name.

So you cannot "create" a directory like in a traditional File System.
