A comment on S3 is files, but not a filesystem. Parent comment

No, they're not made up. A folder (or directory) is a specific type of inode, just a file is.

S3 doesn't have folders. The UI fakes them by creating a 0-byte object (or file, if you will). It's a kludge.

The UI will fake them without even creating the 0-byte object.
