Creating a custom folder browser in Liferay 7.2

Hello,

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.

Thanks in advance,

Shiv
