Shortcut for multiple folder creation at once?

I spend a lot of time creating folders with subfolders within it for my business. I discovered that creating a folder, naming it and placing a / directly after it and then writing something else will create the folder with a secondary folder within it (very useful).

 

Is there a way to create a folder with this or a similar method that will create 2 folders within it at the same time? That would actually save me a fair bit of time. Being able to create 1 folder within a folder is nice but 2 or more would be even better.

 

Cheers.

    Currently it isn’t possible to create more than one subfolder at a time, however, it’s possible that this could be done via the Dropbox API.

     

    Hope this helps!
