File Manager and Document Library Directory

Status: Idea Submitted

To help clean up documents in both the Document Library and File Manager, it would be nice to be able to export a directory of the file folders and file names for the File Manager and Document Library? We don’t need to export the actual files; we just need the organizational structure and folder/file names of everything in each tool.

It would also be nice if you could create folders in the Document Library.

100% agree on this.

We end up with so many duplicates without an easier way to review.

Also, it seems like it would be an “easier” lighter export option than the current ALL files zip. BONUS - if the export would actually provide the detail that is useful, including the following info (in order of importance - IMHO):

File Name

Folder

File Path

File ID

Create Date

Created By

File Usage (but only if it gave a little more detail other than just where it is used in the CMS)

Great idea , would be nice to implement

Totally agree!

It would also be great to be able to export file names and who uploaded them. This is now visible under File history > Performed by.

So neccessary. I just asked to download an EXCEL list of all files, the folders they are stored in, and in which webpages, landing pages or emails they are used so I can clean up a migration that somebody did for me. They brought over all of my images (even ones not in use) in one bulk upload into the root of the Files folder, include multiple sized versions of every image…Cleanup time!

For me, I just need the file ID
