If you would like to keep your folder structure when uploading your files, you should upload your data as a.zip file. If the uploaded .zip file contains a folder structure, Dataverse will keep track of this structure. A file’s location within this folder structure is displayed in the file metadata as the File Path. When you download the contents of the dataset, this folder structure will be preserved and files will appear in their original locations.
After saving your data, you can always edit the File Path to change your folder structure.
If you upload multiple .zip files to one dataset, any subdirectories that are identical across multiple .zips will be merged together when the user downloads the full dataset.
