Hello,

 

Thanks for the help, I managed to update the script so it for eaches over every file and uploads it.

 

The problem I'm having now is keeping the folder structure, as it uploads it as a file rather than creates a new folder each time.

 

Is there a way I can preserve the path to upload and create the folders automatically?

ThatBritishOne Здравко is correct, you can control the folder hierarchy where you upload a file by using the "path" value. For example, if you want to upload a file named "newbackup" into a folder named "10-24-2022" which is inside a folder named "Backups", the "path" value should be "/Backups/10-24-2022/newbackup".
