Does gsutils cp command not create folders but objects following a naming convention?

Suppose I have the following folder

main_folder

 –sub1

—-f1

—-f2

–sub2

—-sub3

——f3

How would these be copied to the new bucket? would it an object with name sub1/f1 or would it create a folder sub1 and copy f1 to sub1?

-r adds the hierarchy from my understanding, starting with the main_folder. ie gsutil cp -r gs://source gs://destination. If you want to ignore hierarchy, use , ie gsutil cp gs://source/ gs://destination.
