Why Flat File Uploads Ruin Project Assets
Flattening nested folders destroys asset references:
Broken Code & Asset Links
Software projects lose relative file paths when subdirectories are flattened.
Disorganized Media Libraries
Mixing raw photos, audio stems, and PDFs into 1 flat list creates chaos.
Manual Re-Creation Time
Recipients waste hours re-creating subfolder directories locally.
