I have been able to upload only single files, one by one, from my PC [Windows 7] to Documents in the Verizon Cloud.  Is there a way to upload an entire folder, containing  several files, to the Cloud?

The Cloud is a great tool that is designed to include backup for seven key content types that include:

◦Contacts

◦Call logs

◦Text and media messages

◦Music

◦Pictures

◦Videos and documents

Folders can be tricky because you can not move an entire folder.

Follow the steps below to download multiple documents, photos, songs, and videos simultaneously using the Android mobile app:

Documents

1.Open the navigation menu and tap Documents.

2.Tap Select Documents on the contextual menu.

3.Select multiple documents.

4.Tap Download on the contextual menu.

Music:

1.Open the navigation menu and tap Music.

2.Select the Songs tab.

3.Tap Select Songs on the contextual menu.

4.Select multiple songs.

5.Tap Download on the contextual menu.

Photos:

1.Open the navigation menu and tap Photos.

2.Select the All Photos tab.

3.Tap Select Photos on the contextual menu.

4.Select multiple photos.

5.Tap Download on the contextual menu.

Videos:

1.Open the navigation menu and tap Videos.

2.Select the All Videos tab.

3.Tap Select Videos on the contextual menu.

4.Select multiple videos.

@TMNBOSS you don't say how your backing up things from your cloud to your computer.  My personal prefrence is to use the PC/Mac app instead of the web browser because I can select a folder I want backed up and any time I move something to that folder it will back it up for me.

The cloud apps don't have a folder structure when you view photos/videos/audio/documents but when you backup using the backup function of the desktop app, it will retain the folder hierarchy for you should you ever need to restore the content back to your computer.

Why do you want them in the Verizon Cloud when there is Dropbox, One Drive or Google Drive?

I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.

I too would like to have Verizon Cloud as my primary cloud due to my lifestyle and preference.  I need to have all of my paid computer/phone subscriptions on one bill.

It is not "tricky" to put folders into the Verizon Cloud.  That answer is not honest. The answer to the question is NO, it is not possible to transfer entire folders into the Verizon Cloud.  Nor is it possible to create folders in Verizon Cloud.  These are the most fundamental features of any file system. 

Now my question is, why is it not possible and when will it be possible?

No, it is NOT POSSIBLE.  Also, there is no way to create folders in Verizon Cloud.
