Copy Tree Structures

FileBoss™ makes simple work of making a copy of a directory tree without including any of the files from the original folders. And there are two different ways to do it to better fit you needs.

The first way is to copy a directory tree just like you would a normal folder or file by specifying a target folder to copy it to.

The second way is to duplicate a directory tree in the same folder as the original is located. This will create a copy but with a different name.

Both of these quick and easy methods are shown below.

 

If you would like to duplicate the tree structure in the same folder as the original consider usin the Duplicate Files and Folders tool. Using the Duplicate tool will also allow you to make as many copies as you like.

 

Quick Start: Copying Tree Structures

Copying folders trees (just the structure without files) is even easier than copying full folders or files. Simply select what to copy and tell FileBoss where to copy it to. 

 

Select the folder (or folders) you want to make a copy of

Select the folder in the Contents window. Below the S:\Shakespeare\Plays folder has been selected.

 

 

Select Actions | Copy Folders Trees... from the main menu

 

 

Select the destination folder for the new directory tree

In this example we have chosen S:\Work.

When the OK button is clicked the folder Plays and all of its subfolders will be duplicated under the folder S:\Shakespeare\Plays - new but none of the files it contains, if any, will be copied, i.e. the new folders will be empty.
