When creating a document or folder, you can add it into one of your existing folders by selecting a specific location in the Document location field of the New document or folder dialog. This places the document or folder into its designated folder. Alternatively, navigate to a folder first, then create a document or folder.
The Create button is available for all users; however, when an enterprise user has read-only access to the folder in which they are trying to create, this button is inactive.
