Create directory of username in s3 from django

Question

I want to create directory on S3 using the name fetched from Django SQL database. I was trying to do this but it shows {} as the S3 bucket name. How should I resolve this?

Do you want to only create folders ? Or you will also populate it with data sometime ? — Umair Mohammad, Feb 03 '20 at 05:32

There is no concept of folders or directories in S3. Management console just present it like that. In Amazon S3, we only have buckets and objects.

Still if we want to create folders, we can create any object like "abc/xyz/uvw/123.jpg", which many S3 access tools like S3 Management Console, S3Fox show like a directory structure, but it's actually just a single file in a bucket.
