✅

I suggest following way:

Create models to store your tree structure and files for example:

class Node(TreeModel):
    parent # foreign key to Node

class File(Model):
    node # foreign key to Node
    name # name of file
    path # path to the file on disk for example

After that move your files in one or few directories (read this How many files can I put in a directory?)
also you can rename them (for example by using hash from files).

Update the model File to put there new paths to your files.

Having done this you are able to easy show files and build path to files etc.

For the model Node use [django-mptt][1] (there are other solutions for django, google it) to get an efficient API to manage a Tree-like model.

You can also create your own Django Storage Backend (or find there are many solutions on the Internet).

Updated

You can add new files by using django admin. You should use amazon s3 django storage backend http://django-storages.readthedocs.org/en/latest/backends/amazon-S3.html.

Change:

class File(Model):
    node # foreign key to Node
    name # name of file
    file # django models.FileField

In this case you have not to update index.
