It’s possible to mimic folders by using ‘/’ in an object’s name but from a system point of view there is no folder support.

Object Storage excels at handling unstructured data and provides a location for you to store objects to be accessed by instances or if you wish generally online as well. It ensures data integrity, provides data protection, and scales to millions of objects without requiring traditional filesystem management.
