Ability to create a template that auto-generates named sub-folders.

[JSMLaw]

Most law firms have a standard set of sub-folders that are required to be manually created for every new matter.  Dropbox should have the ability to create a template that auto-generates the named sub-folders.

Looking into it, thanks!

We have tried to streamline how we are using Dropbox by creating a template project folder that we copy and paste to a new location. When we do this the descriptions/overview that makes the project a space is not copied over. It would be great if dropbox has the functionality to create a folder from a template which included descriptions.

It would be great if I could create a template of folders in a client's account. For instance, each client needs the same five subfolders in their folder.  So, under the client's folder, I'd like to automate the creation of those folders.  When I new client folder is added, they would automatically have 5 subfolders created, already named appropriately.

Thanks,

Mandi

We create nearly identical file directories for all of our clients to access content we create for them.  I would LOVE a feature that automatically populates a folder with sub-folders of our creation - this would save us a TON of time in the long run.  i.e. create a folder for a property we photograph ( 123mainst ) which is automatically populated with " photos, videos, floorplans " - each a different sub-category for what we end up delivering.  I would think this could have broad applications across many industries.

We have looked into this, but it is not something we are actively working on at this time. 

We regularly review these ideas, and we will keep you updated if this idea moves forward in the future.
