    making loads of new folders is so time-consumng activity, i would be great just to drag and copy the whole folder structure, thanks

    Hello Oliver,

     

    Thanks for posting to our community site.  Currently on the Trimble Connect Web platform, it is not possible to upload entire folders however if you use the Trimble Connect Sync tool, it will upload entire directories and folder structures.  Please read more about Trimble Connect Sync here:

    Please feel free to search our documentation for any other questions your have.

    Hello, 

    I think using Trimble Connect Sync is not the answer here. Yes it works well to upload folder structures from a local machine, but it would be very useful if you could create a folder with sub folders inside within the project in TC. Then have the option to copy the folder at the top level and paste within the project. In this instance there may be no data in these folders but the structure could be replicated without manually creating again and again.

     

    Regards

    Maybe this information will help.
    If you want the folder structure to always be the same, you can create a new project based on an existing project.

    Watch the chapter "Creating a Project from an Existing Project" in this link

    Create a Project 

    However, only works with the folders, without their contents.

    Hello Andreas,

     

    Thanks for your response. I am familiar with this method and have used it numerous times.

    However I do not wish to create a new project, but replicate the folder structure multiple times within the same project.

     

    So in the attached example I would like to create main project folder and then Folder for part A with the sub-folders for Drawings, Model and Safety documents. I would then like to recreate the folders by copying like I can in Explorer for parts B-F

    Hope that is clear.

     

    Regards

    OK a normal copy function within the project structure with all subfolders.
    Let's see what Trimble Connect Team can do.
