    Does object storage count? Those are usually identified by a single key; although I guess you could count cloud tenancy and buckets as “folders”

      Wouldn’t same be the case for normal files systems? I think, technically, files on disk stored as flat structure plus tree structure which tracks physical files bytes location on the disk. Is there a file system which actually stores dirs/files data as tree? Adding something into folder would mean moving data of next folder to create “room” for new stuff
