I had some issues finding a way to achieve for this and i wanna help to someone with have troubles as me, i did this:

1. Connect to aws.
2. Choose my s3 bucket.
3. Make a string manipulation to create a variable route using “\” instead of “/”.
4. Connect my s3 connection with a String to path (variable) using a File System Connection (The blue one). With this, the file system will show Amazon S3 as unique option.

After that, you can use the var path for other nodes, for exampe one excel writter.

One correction, you need to set the full path of your bucket to create new folders and use “/”. Sorry for that
