Speaking of folders...
Folders are used to organize the documents posted on several levels and provide access to specific users only.
To create folders in document browsing, the user should have write permission in the location selected. On the other hand, the administrator can create folders regardless of the security settings.
By default, the properties of the created folders are inherited from the parent folder. However, it is possible to define which characteristics should not be inherited from the parent folder through the inherited properties tab. For folders created in the Root you can only configure the properties, and not which ones are inherited, since there is no parent folder from which to inherit.
Folders created using the simplified option or through drag and drop inherit the security, approval, and properties settings of the parent folder.
By using the drag and drop feature, it is also possible to create a folder structure based on a compressed file (.zip). To do so, you only need to drag and drop the field in the file Drop a .zip file to create a file and folder structure. The structure in the compressed file will be created in the document browsing and will inherit the security, approval, and properties of the parent folder.
The drag and drop option to create folders can be limited by the browser used. You can find information on the features supported by each browser under Browser compatibility for Drag and Drop of files.
To use drag and drop in Internet Explorer 9, you need to install the Microsoft Silverlight plug-in. In this case, when dragging files to platforms, a message warning about the installation will appear. You only need to follow the instructions to carry out the installation and broaden your use experience on the platform.
