Creating a Folder

OBS does not involve folders like in a file system. All elements in buckets are objects. To create a folder in OBS is essentially to create an object whose size is 0 and whose name ends with a slash (/). Such objects have no difference from other objects and can be downloaded and deleted, except that they are displayed as folders in OBS Console.

    // Hard-coded or plaintext AK/SK are risky. For security purposes, encrypt your AK/SK and store them in the configuration file or environment variables. In this example, the AK/SK are stored in environment variables for identity authentication. Before running this example, configure environment variables ACCESS_KEY_ID and SECRET_ACCESS_KEY.
    // Obtain an AK/SK pair on the management console. For details, see https://support.huaweicloud.com/eu/usermanual-ca/ca_01_0003.html.
