Can you have folders in S3 bucket?

You can have folders within folders, but not buckets within buckets. You can upload and copy objects directly into a folder. Folders can be created, deleted, and made public, but they cannot be renamed. Objects can be copied from one folder to another.

Does S3 create folder automatically?

S3 doesn't have a folder structure, But there is something called as keys. We can create /2013/11/xyz. xls and will be shown as folder's in the console. But the storage part of S3 will take that as the file name.

Can we create empty folder in S3 bucket?

The only option for empty in s3 is a bucket so once a bucket is created you can add any data inside it in any dynamic folder structure.

How many folders can you have in S3 bucket?

There are no limits to the number of files/folders you can place in a bucket. You are however limited to 100 buckets per account.

There are no folders in Amazon S3. It just that most of the S3 browser tools available show part of the key name separated by slash as a folder.

If you really need that you can create an empty object with the slash at the end. e.g. "folder/" It will looks like a folder if you open it with a GUI tool and AWS Console.
