Andrew Hodges ok thanks for the reply. so seems the only way is to disable creating folders on the list settings. and if we want to add new folders, to temporary enable creating folders >> create the related folders >> disable it again... does this sound a valid workaround?
Hi john john ,
The command on the library only disables the "Folder" option on the "New" menu. It doesnt stop users creating folders by uploading them or by adding them in a synced folder.
In any situation where a customer asks to disable folders I try to understand the problem they are trying to solve and look to find another solution accordingly.
Hope that helps.
Andy
