I'd like an automation that creates numbered subfolders inside the parent folder.

I'd like an automation where I create one folder for a job (Folder ABC) and have however many automated subfolders populate inside.

 

So when I create Folder ABC; three subfolders populate named Subfolders 1, 2, & 3 inside of Folder ABC.

    Hi again, ijustwantautosubfolders

    One workaround that I forgot to mention earlier is that, if you create a new folder on your Dropbox account and you name it “Folder ABC1/Folder ABC2/Folder ABC3”, this should automatically create a parent folder called “Folder ABC1”, with subfolders “Folder ABC2” and “Folder ABC3” inside of it.
