Import folder structure

Another option for creating entire folder structures at once is to import them. To do this, an empty folder structure can be zipped and imported into scoopa.

To do so, navigate to the edit view of the parent folder you want to copy and click on “Import folder structure.”

In the pop-up window, similar to creating a new individual folder, you can first choose whether notification emails should be sent as soon as files are uploaded within the folder tree. You can also specify whether the folder tree should inherit the same user rights as the current folder.

Clicking on “Select zip archive” opens the file browser. After successfully selecting a corresponding zip file, its name is displayed next to the button (in the example: “event_folders.zip”).

Clicking on “Import” creates the folder structure within the current folder.

After importing, a success message confirms that the folder structure has been imported.

In the example, a total of 6 folders were created under “Event 2026” (as shown in the screenshot “Example folder structure”).

Please note: there must be no files inside the zip archive, as this is a pure folder import.
