Can I upload assets to a specific sub-folder?
Yes! Here's how:
Add a field update property to the zap
Go to the "Set up action" step of your upload to Dash step
Increment the number in the "How many fields do you want to update?" section
Choose the field type to update
Find the new field called "Which field do you want to update?"
Click the drop-down on this field and choose "Folders"
Enter the folder information
Find the next field, called "What value do you wish to set?"
Click the drop-down on this field
Choose "Custom"
Click back to the text field above, where it says "Enter text or insert data"
Enter either the subfolder name or the full path to the subfolder (e.g. folder/subfolder/subfolderlvl2)
If other folders in your Dash share the same name, you must use the full path so Dash knows which folder to upload to.

If this happens, open the asset and look at the text in the "original file" section in the metadata sidebar. If this doesn't contain an extension (e.g. if it says "myfile" instead of "myfile.jpg"), then Zapier isn't sending through the file extension. You need to ensure that in your zap, in the "Original filename" includes the extension. If your source app isn't providing this, you might be able to extract it using the Format step.
