Yep it can do either. 1. Use Product.STRUCTURE_HIERARCHICAL for directories. This feature works, and also with data movement, but it’s preferred to do option 2. 2. Manage the hierarchy simply with Product.STRUCTURE_FLAT products, but with versioning to place and co-locate the files according to the organized hierarchy, and then link them with metadata keys.
Make sense?
