One of our customers asked us if the option to add a 'template folder' is available in Nextcloud. I checked it but as far as I can see, this isn't possible yet. You can add a template for spreadsheets, text-documents etc., but it would be awesome to make a template folder containing multiple files. A work-around would be possible if you could copy a folder in the same location, but that also isn't possible yet (see #18846).

This can be extra useful for project folders which always contains the same set of subfolders, template files etc.

So it could work similair to other templates:

• Click 'New Folder' or 'New preset Folder' if another option is better.
• Get the same popup as a you'd get with a spreadsheet template.
• When you click one of these templates, a folder is created with the same content as the 'template folder'.

@mikevh1997 This is exactly what I need. If not built-in, is there an app available? I do not want to override the skeleton provided by NC. I just want to be able to create multiple template folders and while creating New folder I want to be able to choose from the available template folders.

A workaround I am using is the file_scripts app - but writing in lua and not being able to put it in an intuitive place with the + button is overkill, it would be much easier if I could just dump a folder in the Templates folder and have it available. Very useful addon though, wish I'd discovered it before.
