The user-provided path folder-path does not exist.

Question

Hi
I am trying to run a simple sync command from cloudshell. 
I'm following the instructions that I found on the AWS help center in this article: 
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cloudshell/latest/userguide/multiple-files-upload-download.html
To be sure of the path, i went to the properties of my bucket and copied the path from there, the path is s3://thesmallstyleshop/keep/
The cmd i typed in cloudshell was:  aws s3 sync folder-path s3://thesmallstyleshop/keep/

I get a return of The user-provided path folder-path does not exist..

I'd appreciate it if someone could point out what i am doing wrong!! 
Thanks in advance,
Michelle

Note: I don't know if it is a real bad thing to give the details of my bucket, but at this point i am frustrated and there is nothing in there that anyone couldn't see.

You were close. Check the docs on s3 sync: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/s3/sync.html

s3 sync, syncs a local or s3 file path TO another local or s3 file path.

To sync one s3 bucket path to another bucket path:
```
aws s3 sync s3://thesmallstyleshop/keep/ s3://thesmallstyleshopcopy/keep/
```
To sync a local folder to your s3 bucket
```
aws s3 sync /documents/my-folder/  s3://thesmallstyleshop/keep/
```

There are various other examples you can take a look at here:
