You can use the OSS console to create and simulate basic functions of folders in Windows. This topic describes how to create a folder by using the OSS console.
Prerequisites
Background information
In OSS, data is stored by using a flat structure rather than a hierarchical structure
in a traditional file system. All data is stored as objects in a bucket. To facilitate
object grouping and to simplify management, the OSS console displays objects whose
names end with a forward slash (/) as folders. These objects can be uploaded and downloaded.
You can use OSS folders through the OSS console in the same way as you use folders
in Windows.
Note
The OSS console displays any objects whose names end with a forward slash (/) as folders, regardless of whether these objects contain data. You can download these objects only by calling an API operation or by using an SDK.
