Upload folder with subfolders using S3 and the AWS console

Question

When I try to upload a folder with subfolders to S3 through the AWS console  only the files are uploaded not the subfolders    You also can t select a folder  It always requires opening the folder first before you can select anything   Is this even possible

Normally I use the Enhanced Uploader available via the AWS management console   However  since that requires Java it can cause problems   I found s3cmd to be a great command-line replacement   Here s how I used it   s3cmd --configure     enter access keys  enable HTTPS  etc  s3cmd sync  lt path-to-folder gt  s3    lt path-to-s3-bucket gt

It s worth mentioning that if you are simply using S3 for backups  you should just zip the folder and then upload that  This Will save you upload time and costs   If you are not sure how to do efficient zipping from the terminal have a look here for OSX   And   zip -r archive name zip folder to compress for Windows  Alternatively a client such as 7-Zip would be sufficient for Windows users

You don t need Enhanced Uploader  which I believe is not exists anymore  or any third party software  that is always got risk that someone will steal your private data or access keys from S3 bucket or even from all AWS resources   Since the new AWS S3 Web Upload manager supports drag n drop for files and folders  just login to https   console aws amazon com s3 home and start uploading process as usual  then just drag folder from your desktop directly to S3 page

I ended up here when trying to figure this out  With the version that s up there right now you can drag and drop a folder into it and it works  even though it doesn t allow you to select a folder when you open the upload dialogue

The Amazon S3 Console now supports uploading entire folder hierarchies   Enable the Ehanced Uploader in the Upload dialog and then add one or more folders to the upload queue   http   console aws amazon com s3

I was having problem with finding the enhanced uploader tool for uploading folder and subfolders inside it in S3  But rather than finding a tool I could upload the folders along with the subfolders inside it by simply dragging and dropping it in the S3 bucket    Note  This drag and drop feature doesn t work in Safari  I ve tested it in Chrome and it works just fine      After you drag and drop the files and folders  this screen opens up finally to upload the content

I suggest you to use AWS CLI  As it is very easy using command line and awscli      aws s3 cp SOURCE DIR s3   DEST BUCKET  --recursive   or you can use sync by       aws s3 sync SOURCE DIR s3   DEST BUCKET    Remember that you have to install aws cli and configure it by using your Access Key ID and Secrect Access Key ID       pip install --upgrade --user awscli         aws configure
