Folder creation within Files

Within Files, you have a home and a samplesdata folder. Is it possible to create additional folders?

Yes - you can use python code to create folders in this location.

To make a single directory:

import os
if not os.path.exists("/arcgis/home/newdir"😞
os.mkdir("/arcgis/home/newdir")

To make a subdirectories when none of them exist:

import os
os.makedirs("/arcgis/home/non-existent-dir1/non-existent-dir2/")
