Users on Asite having role privilege 'Create Parent Folders' can upload file folders as parent folders on the projects / project templates accessible to them. This will

include all files from selected file folder as well as any sub folders that are part of the file folder getting uploaded.

If uploading as a sub folder, see how to upload a file folder as a sub folder on the project.

Below are the steps to upload a file folder on your local device storage as parent folder on your Asite project:

1. Select the project or project template from folder tree navigation under the 'Files'

tab.

2. From the top right side, click on 'Upload' dropdown and select 'Folders'.

Alternately, you can simply drag and drop the folder to be uploaded to the files

listing area from your local device storage at this stage and skip to Step 6 below.

3. It will populate a file explorer window wherein you can search and select the file folder that needs to be uploaded from your local system.

Note: Depending on the operating system you are using, the options in the file explorer window may appear differently.

4. Select a file folder that you want to upload as parent folder and click on 'Upload'

option to continue.

5. A browser prompt will appear asking you to confirm if you want to continue uploading all files available from the selected folder to Asite. Select 'Upload' to continue.

6. The 'Upload' window appears, listing out the folder selected for upload and its

size, including the number of sub folder and files included in the selected folder

mentioned separately. At this stage, you can upload more folders by clicking on

'Select Folder(s)' or you can stop uploading one or more of the selected folders

by clicking on icon opposite the name of selected folder.

Click 'Upload' to continue. The activity center will then appear at the bottom right

of the window and will display the progress of folder uploads. It will automatically

close once the selected folders are uploaded successfully.

Irrespective of the configuration, files that are part of the folder getting

uploaded will be uploaded without any attribute details (i.e. it will be considered

as a simple upload).

Clicking 'Cancel' on the 'Upload' window will stop uploading the selected folders

and take you back to the files listing area.
