You can duplicate a folder structure (a parent folder and all the subfolders nested under it) within the same library. Only the folder structure is copied. No documents are copied.
This feature is available for users who are authorized to create folders in the library.
1. Open a view. Lean more:
2. Select the folder you want to copy.
Note: You can't copy the library structure at the root level. You can copy any other folder in the hierarchy.
Depending on which views you're using, there are different ways of accessing this feature.
| #Beta views and new views | #New views only |

AODocs creates a copy of the folder structure at the same level as the folder you selected for copy.
When you copy a folder structure:
- the documents contained in the source folder structure aren't copied, only the folder structure is copied
- a maximum of 200 folders and subfolders can be copied – if you try to copy more than 200 folders, an error message appears and you won't be able to start the copy
- only the folders you can access are copied; any folders that you can't see are ignored (these folders aren't counted in the 200 folder limit)
- the existing permissions of the source folder structure are ignored; the new folders created by the copy have the same sharing permissions as the parent folder where they are created
