Weird that it says folders now. I remember it being very strictly called a prefix when I was at AWS.

I think it's just the Web console, It's still prefix in the APIs and CLI.

The web console even collapses them like folders on slashes, further obfuscating how it actually works. I remember having to explain to coworkers why it was so slow to load a large bucket.
