Have you ever needed to export the entire directory tree from a certain folder? Did you need to get a text document that lists all the files and folders inside a specific folder from your computer into a hierarchical structure?

It was at that time that we asked ourselves: how can you automatically create a text file that lists the entire directory tree and all the files inside a folder. After doing a bit of research, we found a simple way to do it and now we want to share it with you. Read on to find how to export a folder structure in Windows.
