Bulk Folder Creation on Dropbox

Tags: Apple, Google, Mac

Hi all, I’m currently trying to improve how I handle client onboarding, specifically, the folder structures we set up in Dropbox. Right now, I’ve been creating folders manually for each new client, with subfolders for contracts, reports, communications, etc. But as the volume increases, it’s becoming really time-consuming and prone to inconsistencies.

I’m wondering if anyone has a system, tool, or tip for bulk-creating structured folders efficiently? Ideally something that works with Dropbox.

I recently came across a tool called EZFolders that lets you generate folder structures using AI, either by typing a command or uploading a CSV. It also has an AI assistant that helps guide you if you’re not sure how to format things.

Seems like it could help, but I’m curious if anyone here has used it or knows more about it before I dive in. Would love to hear what others are doing to save time with this kind of task!

Why not good old school batch files?

In reply to Bulk Folder Creation on Dropbox

Here my dropbox is a folder or drive letter depending on the app used.

So the old batch files and command lines work just fine.

DOS or command line skills are easy to learn since we are talking about less than 5 commands. And tutorials on the web are plentiful.

Or hire an assistant or IT staffer to do all that.
