Thank you, @davegregg , for your response. To Clarify my question – currently we can create a new folder in documents and we upload documents to that folder – however, we can’t upload a folder containing files and or other folders.
Our Battalion has documents in a multi-level structure of folders and files within folders. We would like to upload these Documents to our Battalion Group. Unless there is a way we can upload the whole structure at once – it would then need to be done folder by folder.
Another reason for wanting the feature (other than convenience) is for backups. To be able to backup our files on a regular basis and to restore them as whole if needed.
Does my question make sense?

Here is a robust tutorial from BuddyBoss (the platform that is the foundation of Brigade Leader). In it you will be introduced to a bunch of features (you can see them listed in the tags below in order they are mentioned to help you find what you are looking for in the video. The only part that would be relevant to you is the first half (through minute 5:45), the resst is for us to do stuff on the back-end of Brigade Leader.
If you are the kind of person who likes to understand more details I’d suggest taking a look at this video: https://www.buddyboss.com/resources/docs/components/media/document-uploading/

Coit, you are asking two things:
1) Can I upload a whole folder and file structure? You can’t do that yet. But I gave that suggestion to BuddyBoss for future development.
2) Can I download everything all at once for back-up? Yes you can with one quick click! Watch to find out how

@brigadeleader – thank you for your response. I watched the whole video, frequently stopping frames to observe the details of the backend options. Unless I missed something, I did not see any feature showing how to upload a folder. You can create a folder, but not upload one.
Perhaps it would be a good test to see if you can upload a folder (not create a new one)?
The only thought I had was perhaps the feature needs to be enabled on the back end – under the allow file extension section – allowing the uploading of Folders???

You are correct. you cannot upload a folder. That is not a functionality available yet, even on the backend. I did suggest that to buddyboss for future development though.

@brigadeleader – Yes – that answers my question. I knew I could download folders with structure intact – it was the uploading I really wanted to be able to do. So, I now at least know I must currently upload my documents to folders and hope the feature of uploading folders will be available in the future. Thank you for taking the time to help me understand!!
