Copying file into multiple folders

Is there a way to copy one file into multiple folders at once? I have one document that needs to go into 100 different sub folders and looking for a quick way to do it.

    Hi there, ve3. 
     
    Currently, there isn’t a way to do this in one go, but I’d be happy to share your thoughts with the dev team for future consideration. 
     
    Let me know if you have any other comments you’d like me to forward and, in the meantime, have a great day ahead! :grin:

This function would be very useful. Especially for brands that want to share content with other brands from photoshoots. A solution here would save hours of manual work. You would simply click on a particular file (e.g. a photo) and then select from a list of folders where you would like a duplicate file to be copied to. It would literally save hours. Hopefully you can find a solution. Thanks.
