CAUSE

This issue occurs because when you open a Web folder shortcut or open the Document Library dashboard in the dashboard site, the workspace root view is displayed. You cannot create document folders and files in the root of the workspace. Every workspace has a default Documents folder in the workspace root. Manage and organize all user documents in this default folder.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, add files and folders in the Documents folder or the Portal Content folder of the workspace.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
