Details:

At the University of Melbourne, we are implementing folders integration at enterprise scale as part of our VMS Consolidation Project. Our academic hierarchy requires more than 5 subfolder levels to accurately represent faculties, schools, departments, cost centres, and subjects.

Currently the Echo API and UI enforce a hard limit of 5 subfolder levels, which prevents us from modelling our hierarchy and integrating with upstream systems. Flattening the hierarchy is not a viable option for us, as it would compromise alignment with existing structures and cause confusion for both administrators and academic staff.

Why this matters:

Enables EchoVideo to support large-scale higher education deployments with complex organisational structures

Avoids the need for workaround “flattened trees” which are difficult to manage and maintain

Supports enterprise integration and provisioning at institutions where multi-level hierarchies are standard practice

Request:

Please increase or remove the current 5-subfolder depth limit for folders in EchoVideo, both in the API and UI. Ideally this should be configurable at tenant level so institutions can define their own depth limit based on needs.
