Upload asset folders and files

• Match the folder structure (default): You can preserve your folder hierarchy and convert folders into Collections, and files into assets.
• Ignore the folder structure: You can flatten your folder hierarchy and upload all files into a single level with no Collections.

Prerequisites

• You have the Contributor or higher role in the Asset Manager project where you will add assets.
• The recommended best practice is to keep your folder size under 4 GB. Use the CLI ingestion tool for larger uploads and more complex repositories.
