I have folders on my desktop with documents in it. When I moved the folder to the Documents Library, the folder goes away and the documents are listed individually. How can I keep my subfolders in the Documents Library?

If you drag&dropped the folder into the
Documents Library
the folder was moved to your
My Documents
directory within your Users folder.Libraries do not change your folder structure, they just offer an unified view of all files and folders added to the Library.
