Create folder using boto3

[WilliamLoey]

How can I create a folder in S3 directly from my code using boto3 ?

I am developing a project where create folders and add files, and I would like to create the folder in the code and automatically create one in S3 to maintain the API structure

Hi @WilliamLoey thanks for reaching out. As described in this documentation S3 doesn’t technically have folders:

Amazon S3 has a flat structure instead of a hierarchy like you would see in a file system. However, for the sake of organizational simplicity, the Amazon S3 console supports the folder concept as a means of grouping objects.

But you could create that folder concept for grouping objects like this:

import boto3
client = boto3.client('s3')

client.put_object(
    Bucket='bucket-name',
    Key='test-folder/'
)

Thank you very much for your answer, I was able to find a solution.

I have used this method and it works fine:

    
    upload_s3 = await s3_client.upload_fileobj(bucket=S3_Bucket, key=S3_Key + folder)
    if upload_s3:
        file_url = f"https://{S3_Bucket}.s3.{AWS_REGION}.amazonaws.com/{S3_Key}{file_name +  file_extension}"
