Adding a Virtual Folder

You can add a virtual folder using the quick add feature. To configure additional settings for the virtual folder, see Configuring Additional Settings for a Virtual Folder. When you create a virtual folder, you can either associate or not associate the virtual folder with a physical location.

If you associate the virtual folder with a physical location, the virtual folder represents an existing physical folder on a local or remote file system.

If you do not associate a virtual folder with a physical location, the virtual folder represents a collection of physical folders and files located on one or more local or remote file systems.

Note:
You cannot add a virtual folder within a virtual folder that is associated with any physical location.
