Digital Goods directory

We are going to sell digital goods on our site and have started looking at how the system implements the upload and assignment or these goods. We will have several hundred - probably upwards of 1000 digital items due to variations populated by kits/bundles. As we see it now the files are uploaded to App_Data/DigitalGoods. Is it possible to create sub-folders within App_Data/DigitalGoods so that the digital goods may be organized by type? I'd see this as a rather important feature if we were selling music so that the first sub-folder would be Artist and then each Artist sub-folder would be Album. Otherwise a store could have App_Data/DigitalGoods filled with hunders, or thousands, of files in all organized solely by file name. That would be a very long list that I would not want to sort through on any given day.

Cany anyone share some insight about how to organize and access/assign digital goods from sub-folders within App_Data/DigitalGoods?

Thanks!

It is possible. Let suppose that if you have following directory structure for digital goods
App_Data\DigitalGoods\myfolder\temp
Now you can map files to this directory at two locations 1) when adding digital good 2)- when managing digital goods.
All you need to do is to specify the complete name for digital good in File Name textbox. For example in above case the name of a.txt file will be myfolder/temp/a.txt. Have a look at the following screen shots
