That’s my understanding too. Also rename / copy turned out not to be very useful at the end of the day. Nearly all my implementations just boil down to randomized characters as ids

Yup. Use a system like Redis/DynamoDB or even a traditional database to store the metadata and use random UUID for actual file storage.

And tag the files for expiration/clean up. S3 is not a file system and people should stop treating it like one - only to get bitten by these assumptions around it being a FS.
