Add folder in Amazon s3 bucket

Question

I want to add Folder in my amazon s3 bucket using coding. Can you please suggest me how to achieve this?

Answer 1

This is a divisive topic, so here is a screenshot in 2019 of the AWS S3 console for adding folders and the note:

When you create a folder, S3 console creates an object with the above name appended by suffix "/" and that object is displayed as a folder in the S3 console.

Then 'using coding' you can simply adjust the object name by prepending a valid folder name string and a forward slash.

Answer 2

You can use copy command to create a folder while copy a file.

aws s3 cp test.xml s3://mybucket/myfolder/test.xml

Answer 3

in-order to create a directory inside s3 bucket and copy contents inside that is pretty simple.

S3 command can be used: aws s3 cp abc/def.txt s3://mybucket/abc/

Note: / is must that makes the directory, otherwise it will become a file in s3.

Answer 4

For Swift I created a method where you pass in a String for the folder name.

Swift 3:

import AWSS3

func createFolderWith(Name: String!) {
    let folderRequest: AWSS3PutObjectRequest = AWSS3PutObjectRequest()
    folderRequest.key = Name + "/"
    folderRequest.bucket = bucket
    AWSS3.default().putObject(folderRequest).continue({ (task) -> Any? in
        if task.error != nil {
            assertionFailure("* * * error: \(task.error?.localizedDescription)")
        } else {
            print("created \(Name) folder")
        }
        return nil
    })
}

Then just call

 createFolderWith(Name:"newFolder")
