Creating Folder Templates for Recurring Workflows with EZFolders

6

If your team runs the same workflows every month, quarter, or client engagement, you probably spend too much time recreating folder structures from scratch. Finance teams prepping monthly reports. HR onboarding new hires. Project teams launching new sprints. The work changes — the folders usually don’t.

EZFolders makes it easy to turn those repeatable processes into CSV-based folder templates you can reuse anytime. Upload one file, generate the entire structure in seconds.

Here’s how.

What Makes a Good Folder Template?

A good folder template reflects a process you repeat frequently, with a clear structure and consistent naming. You can set it up once in a spreadsheet, then duplicate it endlessly.

Use cases include:

  • Monthly finance reporting

  • New employee onboarding

  • Client project setup

  • Quarterly audit prep

  • M&A data room structuring

Each row in your CSV represents one folder path. The columns define each level in the folder hierarchy:

Parent Folder NameSub Folder Level 1Sub Folder Level 2
2025_Q2_ReportingFinanceReceipts
2025_Q2_ReportingFinanceInvoices
2025_Q2_ReportingLegalContracts
2025_Q2_ReportingLegalApprovals
Upload this CSV to EZFolders, and you instantly have a complete, standardized folder tree inside Dropbox or Google Drive.
