# Use Folder Names for Metadata

When uploading files, you may have an existing folder structure that you wish to replicate. For example, suppose your top level folder is "Counterparty", under which contracts are then sorted by "Doc Type". An example folder structure is below:

<figure><img src="/files/3VG5MzzIijTj53DshdWx" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

To set this up in Aerofiler, begin by checking the following box:

<figure><img src="/files/ilfJgAoq4CIW0t7OQFQZ" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

You would then set up the folder levels as follows and then click "Save":

<figure><img src="/files/u2F7ScjNYfxcAEYfGfRH" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

To use this feature, click "Browse" on the Dashboard:

<figure><img src="/files/CYrylFMla9OWlsEHwaB9" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Then, choose the folder that is the parent folder to the "Counterparty" folder:

<figure><img src="/files/WSPX99Xj7Rrd4GplERAU" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

If you see the following prompt, click "Upload":

<figure><img src="/files/AoviBGxgZ0Iwetke1jPG" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

After upload, the folder information should be extracted into Aerofiler:

<figure><img src="/files/ZEG6Fe4OlN4S7u4RVbNi" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Using [Folders](https://userguides.aerofiler.com/folders/dynamic-folders), you should now be able to replicate the same folder structure in Aerofiler:

<figure><img src="/files/1MngGqd4oA98Ee0iJr2O" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
