I’m writing an app that let’s you share files in the cloud.
You make a user-account and can upload your files with and send links to friends.

I’m using Amazon S3 to save the data.
But I’m not sure how I should proceed.

There are buckets, which you can create in S3, and in those buckets you save your files.
I thought about making a bucket for each user, but then I read that you can only have 100 buckets at a time.

Isn’t there a better way to managing this then to just save all user files in one “directory”.
This will get so messy. I have never used S3 before, I would be very thankful for any advice.
And if this is the only way, what naming convention proved to be the best?

Thanks!

    Even though S3 has a flat structure within a bucket, each object has its own path much like the directories you’re used to.

    So you can structure your paths like so:

    /<user-id>/<album-1>/...

    One thing to keep in mind is that not all directory related features are available, such as:

    • Deny access to /<user-123>/*,
    • Copy from one directory to another.
