      Introducing Bulk Folder Generation

      Bulk folder generation allows you to create folders in multiple client folders at once. You can even use folder templates you have saved to bulk create a subfolder structure

       

      Please note: The Bulk Folder Generation feature in SuiteFiles is available for SuiteFiles Admins on our Super Suite plan only. If you are on the Semi-Suite plan, or are on Super Suite and have more complex requirements, you can get bulk folders created by completing our Client folder generation form here.
