Creating Multiple Folders at Once

Enter one folder path per line to create several folders in one run. You can enter up to 10 non-empty paths at a time. The limit counts input paths, not the intermediate folders created along with them.

Before you begin

You need create permission at the destination. See Folder Basics for name rules and how paths are resolved.

Opening Bulk Folder Creation

Go to the location where you want the folders, then select Create → Bulk Folder Creation above the folder list. This item appears below New Folder.

Entering Multiple Folder Names

Enter one folder name per line.

You can copy a list from Excel or similar tools and paste it in.

Bulk folder creation

Select Create to process each input path in turn. Check the results for each path, including success, failure, and the reason for any failure.

If there are duplicate folder names, the create button will not be enabled.

Creating Subfolders

Adding a / in a folder name lets you create subfolders all at once. Intermediate folders are created along with them, so you do not need to list them separately. This is useful when managing monthly materials with the same structure.

Paths without a leading / start below the current folder. A path such as /Project/Contracts starts at the root of the current space. It does not switch to another space.

Input:

2026-01/Contracts/Original
2026-01/Contracts/Reviewed
2026-01/Settlement/Invoices
2026-01/Settlement/Payment Confirmation
2026-01/Reports/Monthly Report
2026-02/Contracts/Original
2026-02/Contracts/Reviewed
2026-02/Settlement/Invoices
2026-02/Settlement/Payment Confirmation
2026-02/Reports/Monthly Report

Result:

2026-01
  ├─ Contracts
  │   ├─ Original
  │   └─ Reviewed
  ├─ Settlement
  │   ├─ Invoices
  │   └─ Payment Confirmation

Options and Settings

ItemDescription
Input pathsUp to 10 non-empty paths per run. Leading and trailing whitespace is removed.
Duplicate namesCreate stays disabled if the same target path is entered twice or a name conflicts with a file or folder at the current location.
Path separator/ separates nested folders. It cannot be part of an individual folder name.
Name restrictionsNames starting with @, path segments . and .., and the characters and patterns prohibited for ordinary folder names are not allowed.

When only some folders are created

If one path fails, processing continues with the remaining paths. The operation does not cancel the entire run or automatically remove folders that were already created.

  1. Check which paths succeeded and which failed in the results.
  2. Correct the name or path and check create permission according to the reported reason.
  3. Submit only the failed paths again. Including successful paths may cause duplicate-name conflicts.

Create stays disabled when you enter more than 10 paths. Split them into separate runs. Invalid characters or conflicts in nested paths may appear as failures in the results, so check each path's outcome.
