Answer 1

We cannot (at least as of now) create a sub folder inside s3 bucket.

You can try using following command :

 aws s3 mb s3://yavdhesh-bucket/inside-folder

And then try to list all the folders inside the bucket using command:

aws s3 ls s3://yavdhesh-bucket

And you will observe that the sub folder was not created.

there is only one way to create a subfolder, that is by creating/copying a file inside a non-existing sub folder or sub directory (with respect to bucket)

For example,

aws s3 cp demo.txt s3://yavdhesh-bucket/inside-folder/

Now if you list down the files present inside your sub-folder, it should work.

 aws s3 ls s3://yavdhesh-bucket/inside-folder/

it should list down all the files present in this sub folder.

Hope it helps.
