Hi

there are no folder structure.

All attachments are placed in the sys_attachment table with a reference to the table and record which attachment belongs to

Can anyone please explain, Is there is any possibility to create folder dynamically in my laptop using any script or any API is available ?

The browser will not have access to your local file system, so I don't see it being possible in the browser.

The only way I see possible is to do it by calling a powershell script via the midserver. The powershell script will be called to be invoked (runs on) on your local machine and creates the folder.
