Would save enormous amounts of time creating multiple folders and importing the folders/files contained within these folders. It would make it very easy to drag the source folder and all folders/files within would be copied.

This really needs to be looked at. Any development? Would save a lot of time having to re-construct the folder structure.
I see it as an opportunity to either enhance 4Explorer or the desktop app. The desktop app always you to bring in the folder structure and files, which is nice, but you have to go to each individual folder to register the files. Would be nice to select multiple folders and register the files at the same time.
Great feedback on this item. Do you see this as an opportunity to improve 4Explorer to where you can drag and drop a parent folder into 4Explorer and it then create all the sub-folders as VFP containers along with the documents within?
I don't ever use the same folder structure when I need to drag and drop information as it's always from externals so that wouldn't work for me. I spend a huge amount of time having to create container structures because the system won't accept drag and drop.
You could however template that as a site and set up from template, which then creates a copy of all of the folders but not files.
