Need to be able to print the entire file structure for any account

I know other people have suggested this  but I'm just adding my two cents worth - Being able to download/print the entire file structure for your records or to share with others - would save having to manually record it in a spreadsheet.  Not sure why there hasn't been any action on it since 2019 - too hard perhaps?

    I like this idea.  I have been advocating for adding filters to search, the way Windows File Explorer does.  Allowing output of all files with hierarchy would also be a big time saver.

    I would like to be able to create a directory that could be printed or put into a document that shows Folders and Sub Folders and files so I could do an overview of where I have duplicates or ways to streamline folders or  see how many different file and folder names are being used across my account and my teams account.  I'm actually surprised that is not available.

      This is absolutely necessary. I have innumerable files and folders, some of which are duplicates of each other. I need to be able to find the duplicates and remove them quickly and easily. Being able to locate the duplicates quickly would allow me to find and remove them as part of an initial cleanup process and as part of regular maintenance. Such software would be immensely valuable.

      Terrific idea. I have innumerable files and folders and would like to create a list for cleaning up and simplifying my folder structure.

      I manage a large database for a non-profit organization with many subfiles.  I wish there was a way to create a "tree" document of the main folder so I could see a clear physical showing of files within sub files.  without having to click every individual sub file down the line.  

       

      I asked your online assistant and they said currently there is not way to do this.

        JdBartell, I’ve merged your idea here, since it sounds similar to the OP. 

         

        Feel free to check this thread though for a possible workaround.
