    <summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Hello,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We are using Liferay 7.2 to organize digital media such as movies,
  music etc. We are trying to read movie, music data from an excel sheet
  and creating JournalArticle entries for each movie/music row in the
  excel sheet. In our excel file importer, we are trying to store all
  the new JournalArticles created in a Folder that we create in the root
  Web Content menu item. Is there a Folder Browser widget or package
  that we can use in a Web Portlet by which a user can choose a Folder
  that has been created in Web Content and our controller will then
  create all the new Journal articles inside this chosen folder? This is
  similar to a file upload button, except that it should open a folder
  view showing the folders in the Liferay Web content with + buttons for
  sub-folders etc.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks in advance,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Shiv&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;</summary>
