# Upload to specified folder?

 * Until Dropbox allows sharing of app folders (Real Soon Now!), I need my other
   website maintainers to be able to upload files into specific subfolders of my
   Dropbox/Apps/Blighty Explorer/ folder, not just _bex_uploads. I have the upload
   shortcode protected with eyesonly, so I don’t need to segregate the uploaded 
   files.
 * I’m using the [bex_folder root=”a folder”] now on different pages, so it would
   be convenient if the [bex_upload] could allow authorized users to upload to the
   same folder. Subfolder access would be good too, but it might be complicated 
   to do in the form.
 * Is this possible? If not yet, consider this a feature request.
 * Thanks!

 * Thanks for your feedback. I’d started to design and develop out that functionality
   a few months ago, but I never completed it. I’ll revisit your ideas though and
   see if I can implement them. It may be September 2015 before I get to it based
   on my current workload.
 * Cheers,
    Chris

 * I’ve just added this functionality with version 1.9.0.

 * I think there’s a problem with the choice of root folder for uploading.
 * On a page with this:
 *     ```
       [bex_folder root="financials" sortdir="D"]
       [bex_upload]
       ```
   
 * Where financials has several sub-dirs, and I select one of them for viewing, 
   when I upload, it goes into a folder with the same name as the subdir of financials,
   but at the top level.
 * e.g., I select financials/2016 as the folder to view, which is mapped to Dropbox/
   Apps/Blighty Explorer/financials/2016/. I then upload a file, and it goes into
   Dropbox/Apps/Blighty Explorer/2016/
 * This is obviously not what I wanted.
 * Thanks for your help!

 * Thanks for letting me know. I understand what you’re saying and I’ll take a look
   at it today.

 * There was no root override attribute for the bex_upload shortcode, so I’ve added
   that with 1.9.1. For your example, it would be:
 *     ```
       [bex_folder root="financials" sortdir="D"]
       [bex_upload root="financials"]
       ```

 * I’ve been waiting for 1.9.1 to show up in the plugin updates. I just checked 
   Blighty Explorer on the Add New page, and it has the updated changelog, but it
   still says 1.9.0.
 * I think something’s out of whack.

 * I uploaded the source code several hours ago, but it’s not showing. I may have
   to get the WordPress team to bump it. In the meantime, you can download the latest
   version and install it manually if you like.

 * WP finally shows an update, so I got the new version. It works exactly as I wanted.
   Thank you!
